** Description changed: I am using Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS with last updates (25.10.2012) from precise, precise-security, precise-updates, precise-proposed. My bug is some similar for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/819144 But I have not fglrx. $ lspci -m -nn 00:02.0 "VGA compatible controller [0300]" "Intel Corporation [8086]" "82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [29c2]" -r10 "ASUSTeK Computer Inc. [1043]" "P5KPL-VM Motherboard [82b0]" ... $ lspci -nn 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:29c2] (rev 10) ... Xorg uses standard "intel" driver. Same result with using "vesa" driver (with vesa I always have disappearing mouse cursor on tooltip showing, even without unity and compiz). Unity_2D works fine of course. I will try to explain behavior of this bug... 1) Unity panel and upper panel renders (shows picture) fine. 2) Other desktop space often blinking (they replace each other) by 3 types of picture: a) simple black b) some previous state of picture (ghost picture): I mean e.g. if you close some window, you will still can see this window with buttons, which already are not clickable of course. c) current picture 3) If you move mouse cursor over desktop icons (I have many icons), it sometimes cleans rectangles with icons, sometimes not. 4) If you move some window by mouse, part of desktop can be cleaned by previouse position of this window and all positions while window moving. This cleaning type is not always works too. 4) If you switches between consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1, ..., Ctrl+Alt+F7), desktop starts blinking as in "2)" and sometimes it stops on cleaned good desktop, sometimes on black desktop (black except left and upper panel of cource). 5) Sometimes (e.g. while pressing Ctrl+Alt+F(1-6) and back to Ctrl+Alt+F7) I can see thin lines of some picture (from actual or previous state of window, I can't understand which) on black desktop. I tryed to install different stable versions of unity and compiz (and associated packages) with no success. I tryed to install fresh drivers from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates with no success. I rebooting my computer after each time of changing unity/compiz/drivers packages. After sometime unity start to work normally (without black blinking) but for root only! I don't want to be root all time which I using unity. Please, help. Update 1: Immediatly after login unity left panel can replaced by black too (not always), but it's returned to normally after moving mouse over it. I created new user to test behaviour under it. Same result: black and other blinking. + Guest session is with black blinking too. + + Update 2: + I don't have any like unclutter, synergy and quicksynergy. + https://code.google.com/p/quicksynergy/issues/detail?id=26
