Hi,

it uses the "Nouveua driver:

If you do want to use the Nvidia drivers, use only the recommended version per this guide:

I wanted to use Nvidia but I have to same problem as other users, that is "blank windows".
This problem sit's there since ages, and hasn't been fixed yet. I remember adding to open bug on lunchpad more than year ago
Maybe I will be able to at least update Nouveau...

thanks.

Hold on - I think your second link might be a solution...

Hi birkopf,

is this solved now?, if you read through the Nvidia guide, it tells you to disable the "Focus Animation" switch in Compiz!.
