Confirmed. I don't see this corruption with gnome-shell. So I'm starting to think this is related to unity as opposed to the kernel + X. Will update the description to reflect this. ** Also affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Hitting the "Windows" key to bring up the dash crashes the system. - Switching to the console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) shows that the nouveau driver is - wedged. + Hitting the "Windows" key to bring up the dash corrupts the screen from + where everything goes downhill. See attached screenshot for example + after a few window launches, dash enable/disable, etc. - Using the nvidia binary drivers don't get me past the login screen. + Logging in with gnome-shell doesn't show these artifacts. + + I'm use the xorg-edgers PPA now with a 3.9 mainline kernel to try and + debug the problem.
