It doesn't seem to appear immediately, but once it happens, it starts happening consistently. It stops when I switch windows. I'm currently on the 337.25 drivers with a GTX 770.
X, or something, is definitely having some issues it seems like, as my system has locked up twice in the past two hours. I've been able to ssh in and do a "killall5", which has worked both times luckily. I'm about to install the 340.17 drivers, and update the rest of my packages because it's been a few days since I've been able to. Hoping one of the updates has to do with the freezes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288747 Title: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse Status in Compiz: Triaged Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Nvidia 334.21 makes the UI jearky, googled and found this on Nvidia forums: "This looks like a problem caused by the system compositor not properly waiting for X rendering to finish before performing OpenGL rendering in response. The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension was designed to solve this problem, but it looks like cogl (the back-end library used by GNOME's compositor) doesn't use it yet.
