Minor heads-up: Those using Christopher's PPA need to either hold the relevant package versions, or tweak the APT policy:
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/townsend-compiz Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-townsend-compiz-nvidia-refresh-test Pin-Priority: 600 Otherwise, the numerically-higher version of compiz in the Ubuntu repo will replace the patched package. -- 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/269904 Title: Screen refresh problems with nvidia cards Status in Compiz: In Progress Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz-fusion-plugins-main” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-177” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz” source package in Intrepid: Fix Released Status in “compiz-fusion-plugins-main” source package in Intrepid: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-177” source package in Intrepid: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” source package in Intrepid: Invalid Status in “compiz-fusion-plugins-main” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: == Proposed compiz-fusion-plugins-main patch == See comment 234 by Anders Kaseorg and attached compiz-fusion-plugins-main_0.8.2-0ubuntu2.debdiff. == Original report == Binary package hint: compiz I'm using latest compiz on intrepid. Since jockey-gtk does not work on my box (I already filed a bug), I manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and added the "driver → nvidia" line to xorg.conf. Now I seem to be having some screen refresh problems when using compiz: parts of the screen are refreshed, but others aren't. That means nautilus doesn't show files or folders until I move the cursor over them, firefox doesn't show webpages properly until I scroll down, and so on. Please, tell me if there is any additional info I can provide to find out the cause.
