I'm running: Trisquel 5.5 linux-libre 3.5.4 libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental 7.11 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110411 Everything is from the Trisquel repository except the kernel. I also tried running Gnome Shell 3.4 from a PPA on the same configuration (but an older ~3.3 kernel) and I got the same graphical corruptions. There was also a (possibly unrelated) Plymouth corruption that got fixed with one of the newer kernels. IIRC, that was due to some framebuffer thing that got changed between Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10. But I also read some bug reports on Fedora that mentioned some problems with the Quadro 140M's NV86 sub-family and Gnome Shell. But I'm not sure if they apply. I've also tried doing suggested tweaks to Clutter. So after a few months of struggling I just gave up with Shell for the time being :). BTW, I've never had issues with Compiz's 3D effects on Trisquel 4.5 and 5.0 on this laptop. -- Morne Alberts
