[SOLVED] Graphics issue with nvidia 319

Hi (Wolfman?), I changed to proprietary drivers (Update Manager | Settings | Additional Drivers) and if I flick between two windows the non-active goes blank! Should I go back to the Nouveau drivers?

Hi Swarf,

this is why I recommend only using the "nvidia-current" package, only install the "Recommended" drivers from Nvidia, I have an Nvidia GT430 and it works fine with those!.

As for the blanking, see the guide and the part about Compiz:

Hi Wolman, thanks for the guidance - which I knew already but forgot! Been a bit fraught last couple of weeks with different issues! Well I looked at what happened in the terminal and noticed that when using the command to instruct the current nvidia release it drops to 304 - so if you do go through the additional drivers route, just stick to 304 people!

HI Swarf,

I have marked this as solved as you are "fraught" enough!


Regards Wolfman
