I'm not sure where you are with this bug, but I believe the bug lies with Compiz rather than nVidia.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) on a Sony FS315S Laptop (Intel Pentium M CPU with on board nVidia graphics). I have experienced the same problem with the screen not refreshing and the mouse/cursor being 'trapped' and inactive within the application concerned. Again, it would not appear to be a complete system freeze as changes such as new tabs in Firefox don't show but do happen in the background. I have not found that switching to another desktop or application will refresh the screen, although I have found that minimising and maximising the screen will often refresh it correctly. If I switch from running Compiz to Metacity I do not get these problems and the screens in open applications refresh correctly. -- Windows don't repaint after alt+tab, desktop switch (compiz, nvidia) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583401 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
