Hi

After changing the graphigs driver to Nvidia driver the windows goes totally black as shown in this picture. This happends when I change some inactive window to active and it changes the windows order on the screen. Either one or both turns then totally black. This don't happend if the windows are not on the others, then the change active/inactive works normally. What should be done ?

I used this command line as per Wolfmans suggestion

"For the Nvidia rig; I recommend installing this package:"

CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
