I've been playing around with the settings and I noticed that if you *do not* set this:
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1 it greatly reduces the problem. It doesn't eliminate the problem but at least things are usable. Has everyone else having this problem been using that setting? This problem seems to be acknowledged by Nvidia "Please note: it has been reported that using a compositing manager in conjunction with this option will cause newly-created windows to briefly display random contents instead of black before being first drawn. We are aware of this non-critical issue and planning to fix it in a future NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release." It doesn't mention "refresh" problems specifically but it seems to be in the same category as this. lspci -n | grep 300 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0427 (rev a1) lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1) -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
