Similar story here: I have a macbook pro 4.1 (core 2duo) with an uptodate ubuntu 8.10. the terminal urxvt give the most refresh problems. When it spits out long lists (like for 'locate e') the terminal screen gets scrambled). Even sometimes the update manager screen list (of to-be-updated ubuntu items) scrambles. I've not seen a difference between the 173 and 177 drivers.
I now switched from compiz to metacity, which resolved the problem, so I'd say that the problem is purely graphics card. (never a program crashed or complained about the scrambling). -- garbled Emacs display when running under compiz with nvidia drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303224 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
