I'm also experiencing this problem with nvidia drivers after 173, but only in the terminal. Doesn't matter which one. I tried gnome-terminal, xterm, konsole. But I noticed two things which may be useful to track it down:
1. For me it only occurs in single-head mode. As soon as I start my X-Server with a second display attached I have no screen update problems. 2. I noticed that the problem does not occur when a compiz animation is played. So enabling the benchmark window fixes the problem. Currently I use the Paint Fire feature of Compiz to workaround the bug when I'm in single-head mode. Usually I put the fire into the trash bin. ;-) -- 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
