thom, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

I am a noob when it comes down to videodrivers but is seems like although the desktop and backdrop are rendered nicely full screen the items on it seem to be rendered to a smaller field and get clipped when passing the "border". Resizing the desktop to another size and back again seem to solve this issue. I'll paste my temporary workaround here for people with the same problem and the same hardware while awaiting a fix. workaround suitable for: NV34 (64MB) with laptopscreen 1024x768@60 workaround for nouveau bug that cuts off everything on screen beneath a certain invisible horizon resizing (and resizing back again) seems to be the only "fix" without disabling render acceleration workaraound tested (and works) put the code below in a file, make it executable and put it in "startup applications" in your desktop: #!/bin/bash xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode 800x600 --panning 800x600 xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode 1024x768 --panning 1024x768 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/996168/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
