fwiw: I hit this using the latest from Nvidia's download site, and also using the xorg-edgers ppa ( 346.47-0ubuntu1-xedgers14.04.1 ). The flipping in the terminal seems to be at the same speed as the cursor blink. I only noticed it in gnome terminal. xterm does not exhibit the problem. My system's a Dell T7500 with a Geforce gtx 570 running somewhat up to date ubuntu 14.04.1
"CCSM>Workarounds>Force synchronization between X and GLX" seemed to help a bit initially, but the problem is still present enough to make gnome terminal nearly unusable. "nvidia-settings -a GPUPowerMizerMode=1" seems to help more. With that, I haven't seen the flipping in my 30 seconds of extensive testing. Like Tom, I don't think I can install a new OS on this system, but I guess I might have time to boot the live cd sometime. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314367 Title: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1314367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
