Public bug reported:
When installing the NVIDIA drivers (I've tried 190.53 through Jockey,
190.53 and 195.30 beta through run packages), everything in the
installation works fine.
I start gdm. Sometimes everything works fine (I'm using compiz with some
effects enabled) - but if so, the next restart will trigger the
symptoms. The symptoms are either an extreme slowness as if the desktop
was being rendered by CPU, or a weird shift in which the display is
vertically shifted and random colours appear. In this case, I also
experience the extreme slowness.
I've tried installing, uninstalling cleanly, then running vesa for some
time (which doesn't open gtk-window-decorator, nor can I type in text
fields), then going back to the NVIDIA driver. As stated, I've tried
jockey and the .run packages.
I'm running Lucid Lynx alpha 2 amd64 with all packages updated. At the
moment, I've installed the 190.53 .run package again, removing the
Section "Monitor" section in xorg.conf - and it seems to be working for
now. Upon restart, everything works fine, so far.
