I encountered this with a 256MB nvidia 6600GT AGP card when the 'AGP
Aperture size' in the BIOS was set to a value lower than the amount of
memory on the video card. After upping the value in the BIOS, the
problem went away.

[nvidia-glx] Window content is black after opening 5/6 windows when
I am getting this black screen problem with Epiphany using compiz (but
not metacity) on Intrepid.
Intrepid has linux-restricted-modules-generic version 2.6.28-11.15 is it
right that this bug remains associated directly with version 2.6.20? Is
it actually a bug in this module or one in compiz?
Still experience this. After a day or so of running, eventually windows
start opening black. They can be revived by shrinking smaller and
smaller, but eventually that method runs out as the window gets too
small to be usable. Have tried many solutions including indirect-
rendering, nothing
A computer with two 256mb of dedicated video memory still displays black
windows when a certain threshold of open windows is reached. The
threshold varies with the kind of window, i.e. evince with large PDF
articles lowers it).

In Hardy, I can have usually 7 windows open at a time before I start

This bug was nominated for Gutsy but does currently not qualify for a 7.10
stable release update (SRU) and the nomination is therefore declined.
According the the SRU policy, the fix should already be deployed and tested in
the current development version before an update to the stable releases
I'm also experiencing 'black windows' in 7.10 after a variable number of opened

1. Open several applications (Evolution, Firefox with several tabs).
2. Open a very large image in GIMP.
3. Maximize the GIMP window.
