I've been investigating this further by running the xorg-edgers PPA. No luck. It is still broken.
I then downloaded the Fedora19 Alpha Live image and tried it. It works just fine! No artifacts visible. I checked that the nouveau driver version in xorg-edgers PPA and Fedora19 Alpha are the same (1.0.7). My suspicion is that this problem is related to unity depending on some bits of OpenGL that gnome-shell doesn't. To verify that I'll need to install a gnome-shell desktop on my machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158689 Title: nouveau and nvidia binary drivers are broken for GeForce 8400 GS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1158689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
