[Bug 1314367] Re: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared

An "edit" to my previous comment. This problem does not appear when
running 331.38 (for me). I've rolled back the driver.

[Bug 1314367] Re: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared

2014-10-20 Thread johntosh
My 14.04 system also suffers from a variation of this problem. FWIW, I
find that the "flicker problem" is tied to the PERFORMANCE LEVEL of my
GTX 275. If I watch the GPU from the PowerMizer panel of the "NVIDIA X
Server Settings" application, the "flicker problem" appears when the
Performance Level drops to 0. At Performance Level 1 or 2, the problem
disappears.

By "flicker problem", I mean that the screen erratically switches
between a partially-updated display and a fully-updated display. All
applications that don't "sufficiently challenge" the GPU, and cause the
nVidia Performance Level to climb, suffer from this problem! However, if
I run one of my high frame-rate OpenGL programs, the problem disappears,
until I exit the application, and give the nVidia driver stack a chance
to settle back down to Performance Level 0.

BTW, none of the Compiz tweaks mentioned in this thread, or any other,
has helped my situation, only the Performance Level matters. I'm now
running nVidia Driver version 340.46, but the problem existed when I was
running 331. My system is an "old" LGA 1366 Quad Core i7 with 12GB of
memory, and a GTX 275.
