Hi, I have the same problem on my Kubuntu 9.04 x86_64 GNU/Linux KDE 4.2.2 Compiz (1:0.8.2-0ubuntu8) NVidia drivers (180.44-0ubuntu1)
refresh issues in Konsole and Okular... Tried using NVidia's 173.14.16-0ubuntu1 and hey refresh issue gone! These drivers gave the Xorg server a high cpu load though... reaction speed of the desktop became an issue !! :( Back to the 180 drivers I tried the workaround http://fedorasolved.org/Members/mock/fix_refresh_nvidia_compiz_f10, this didn't solve anything. Krister wrote it solves the issue on Ubuntu but makes things painfully slow... didn't solve it for me but neither made things painfully slow :) Doubt it's a Compiz bug, more a NVidia driver bug... that's my opinion. For me it's only visible in Konsole and Okular, not in OpenOffice as Krister mentioned. I've noticed another bug that might be related to the graphic drivers. When I leave my portable on during a long time (noticed it when I returned at the office in the morning, left the portable powerd on the evening before :s ) exiting the screensaver made my icons on the panel disappear. This I can live with. The refresh issue though is more of a pain ;) -- kde apps don't refresh (update the screen) properly with compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370834 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
