fwiw: I hit this using the latest from Nvidia's download site, and also using the xorg-edgers ppa ( 346.47-0ubuntu1-xedgers14.04.1 ). The flipping in the terminal seems to be at the same speed as the cursor blink. I only noticed it in gnome terminal. xterm does not exhibit the problem.

Some status update: I enabled Don't wait for video sync and Force full screen redraws from compizconfig. I've not yet experienced the flickering problem. Before the compizconfig modification the problem was severe in gnome image viewer, right after rebooting. I have never seen problems as severe as in Robert's video: for me, the flickering never occurred between different windows. The flickering occurred mostly in gnome image viewer and gnome terminal: for example, when I exited vim, I could see the vim screen still there, painted over by the command line prompt and the flickering was the same rate as the cursor blink rate. It was worse in image viewer however, making it almost unusable. Even though the flickering happens inside window borders I would still rate this very severe bug, disabling common out-of-the-box media functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314367 Title: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1314367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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

Also using 340.24 and Ubuntu 14.04.1. The workaround Miguel mentioned above, checking the Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint option in Compiz, resolved the flickering issue for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314367 Title: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1314367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1314367] Re: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared
It's a Compiz problem. I figured this out about a week after I installed 14.04 (which was a week after 14.04 was released). To fix it, you get CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) and you go down to Workarounds in the Utility Category and check the box that says Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint. This will fix the problems as it forces the system to draw only the latest info and discard of any old buffers that cause it to flicker between old and new draws. I recently reset unity and I was trying to find out how I fixed it and then I remembered while I was on this page, so I decided to tell you guys how to fix it and maybe help Canonical developers fix this annoying problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314367 Title: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1314367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
