If I were you, I'd file a bug report with Nvidia about that, to ensure
that this sort of thing doesn't happen in the future.
Regardless, my point here is that in the bug in question, people
apparently have experienced a significant increase in artifacts between
distribution versions in the first half of 2008 (e.g., Fedora 9, Ubuntu
Hardy) and the second half of 2008 (e.g., Fedora 10, Ubuntu Intrepid),
with regards to Nvidia users. This has apparently been fixed with the
180 driver series. Those who can't use the 180 driver series should file
bugs with Nvidia, asking them to backport the xrender fixes.
Those with other video cards do not have the artifacts with the same
proportions as the people in the bug.
