Thanks Anders, I didn't realize another assault on this bug was taking place on the compiz side. I have installed your package, and now about a week later, I can confirm I don't see any refresh artifacts. Not the way they were, at any rate. But the whole thing has become unstable, and because of the way I installed compiz-fusion-plugins-main, I cannot tell what exactly has changed. An attempt to install your binary package in intrepid broke a few dozen dependencies, which cascaded into a landslide. Sorting those out seemed too painful, so I jumped the gun and installed jaunty. During the week that followed, I had a few crashes. Several were pretty mild, such as compiz (or something else) becoming corrupt, with all windows except icons turning white, and initially non-responsive. I could make them active again by switching to a VT and back, and then replacing compiz brought everything back to normal. The worse ones lead to a total lock-up of the system; in one instance I got a black screen with the live cursor, but nothing else seemed to work; a few other times the machine froze with partially updated windows and without any trace in the logs. Today I got the first SEGV in the server that I can report: Backtrace: 0: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x813518b] 1: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x55) [0x80c7be5] 2: [0xb8074400] Saw signal 11. Server aborting. Every time the crashes coincided with my activity of some sort, and I have a feeling that with too many things going on and a lot of resources used it is more likely to crash. Once it crashed when I tried to open a menu in gimp; and today again it crashed when I used gimp to open half-a-dozen full-size screenshots. --Gene -- Screen refresh problems with nvidia on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
