Public bug reported:
After upgrading to precise and activating nvidia-173 (173.14.35) on a
machine with the following graphics card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation NV37GL
[Quadro PCI-E Series] [10de:00fd] (rev a2)
/usr/bin/compiz started to crash with the exact same symptoms as in bug
#768178. (I'm filing a new bug since that one is marked as a duplicate
of a quite different bug that is itself marked as invalid.) This isn't
too surprising since the graphics card is a close relative of the
GeForce FX series, various flavours of which are already blacklisted in
nux.
Forcing Unity 2D works around the problem, so I've applied the attached
patch on top of nux 2.14.1-0ubuntu1. Maybe one could set
_use_glsl_shaders = false in NuxGraphics/GraphicsEngine.cpp instead but
I don't have the time to test this conjecture. glGetString(GL_RENDERER)
returns "Quadro PCI-E Series/PCI/SSE2" for this card and driver.
** Affects: nux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Patch added: "Add 10de:00fd to the blacklist for Unity"
