Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
The distortion looks as if the screen is updating too slowly, or not
synchronized to the refresh rate. That is, you see parts of the old
picture and part of the new picture at the same time. I suspect it has
to do with "synching to vblank".
The problem only occurs when compiz is enabled (no matter if normal or
extra effects).
The problem occurs in all programs using xvideo, mplayer -vo xv
included.
mplayer -vo x11 works, but it doesn't support fullscreen, so it's
useless.
Changing the settings related to "vsync" in nvida-settings or CCSM does
not seem to have any effect.
I supply version information below.
