Public bug reported:
I'm running Hardy on my workstation, and I really liked how Compiz "Just
Worked" after installing the proprietary nVidia drivers.
Unfortunately, problems start creeping up after a day or two. (I leave
my workstation up and running 24/7)
At some point, I'll open a new window that will be drawn black, and
every single window I open up from that point is also black. By this I
mean that I can see the window decorations, but the content is black.
At this point I can shrink the windows and it seems like below a certain
size the content will show up fine, but as soon as it hits that size
boundary, everything turns black again.
If I restart X at this point, everything starts working fine again for
another day or two. The problem always returns, though.
Unfortunately, not being able to see the contents of my work windows
makes Compiz unusable at that point, and having to restart X every day
or two is annoying enough that I've stopped using Compiz because of
this.
Here's my lspci, for reference:
