Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 8.10-amd64
~/ lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400]
(rev a1)
Using ubuntu nvidia-glx-180.11 or PPA driver nvidia-
glx-180.29-0ubuntu1~andersk1~intrepid1
I do not have any problems with drivers 173 or 177, Only 180's. Have
tried 180.11 and 180.29
I have a laptop with an external monitor that I use in twinview. When I
upgraded to 180.11 and rebooted the laptop screen flickers like when
interlacing is enabled on CRT monitors. Only once X starts, and only on
the laptop screen. The external screen is crystal clear. It's like the
lines have all been shifted up half a line, and they are slightly fuzzy
but still readable. It's just hard on the eyes. Not sure how else to
describe it.
The laptop screen also appears like it is limited in the number of
colours it displays compared to the external monitor as the gradient
background image appears to have bands through it instead of being sooth
like on the other monitor.
It happens with both of the 180 series drivers I tried. It also happens
when the external monitor is disconnected.
I have tried deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf and running nvidia-xconfig but
it still produces the same problem.
It will go away if I go into nvidia-settings and change any setting
related to the laptop screen. Ie, set refresh rate to auto instead of
60hz or vice versa and hit apply. The screen will flash black for a
second the become crystal clear again. Until I restart X again.
Anything else I can try?
