I tested a few more kernels. The bug is also fixed in v4.6-rc1. Don't know about earlier kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585329 Title: Sometimes a black rectangle

I had an old hard drive around, so I installed Ubuntu to it. I installed the latest kernel from that link (v4.8-rc5), and the bug is fixed there. I haven't installed the NVidia proprietary drivers. $ uname -a Linux bruno-mitsai 4.8.0-040800rc5-generic #201609041832 SMP Sun Sep 4 22:34:01 UTC 20

Sure Christopher! A screencast couldn't record the graphical glitches, so I recorded a video with my phone and attached it to this comment. In the video I have gnome-terminal open. At the start, I press and hold the 'A' key on the keyboard and move the mouse cursor *inside* the terminal window.

Even more interesting... I'm developing a small game in SDL. It runs in a window, hides the cursor, and in every frame moves the cursor to the center of the window. But if I move the mouse fast enough for the cursor to exit the window, it is shown for a split second and, more importantly, that b

I just purged the bumblebee packages and installed nvidia-prime. I wasn't using the NVIDIA card anyway, so I didn't need dynamic card switching (except to work around a defect in my laptop, but I already found another workaround). Still, the update shouldn't have broken bumblebee (even if it isn'

The recent upgrade to nvidia-340 in Trusty broke bumblebee. After plymouth, it goes to a black screen. The version in the Bumblebee's PPA is also not perfect. It works, but after running optirun/primusrun, the GPU stays ON because it fails to unload the nvidia module. -- You received this bug

Ok, you're right. I thought that /usr/lib/nvidia-331-prime/ld.so.conf was used only for 64-bit, but it is indeed used for 32-bit as well. Same thing for /usr/lib/nvidia-331-prime/ld.so.conf, which point to both 64 and 32 bit mesa libraries. As I said, you know more about this than me. :) Sorry t

@Alberto, sorry to confuse you. I am using Bumblebee, but I have everything working now. The alternatives are pointing to the Mesa GL libraries, nvidia-331 installed and libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 installed (though it's not installed by default nor by bumblebee, so I reported Bug #1383909 there). But

Sure, I could file another Xorg bug. But, like I said (maybe not clearly), I don't think this is a Xorg issue at all. The problem is in Unity, I think. With workspaces enabled, the overlay becomes too big for a screen with a height of 768 (or less), so it's not displayed. But, if you insist I wi
