Thread: Display corruption on my Thinkpad T510 with Nividia drivers on 12.04


hello all. ever since upgraded 11.10 12.04 i've been having display problems. basic symptom display buffer appears corrupted. seems affect alt-tab display - instead of seeing little pictures of windows boxes windows have garbage in them, random text , messed images. after spreads status bar @ top of screen , windows - example, emacs have garbage text across top of window , inside buffer area. switching vt , x clear it, not. system lock , i'll have restart.

far fix i've found running unity 2d, frankly that's not great @ all. feels second-class environment.

i've tried upgrading nvidia drivers twice - first 304.37 304.43 yesterday, both times using nvidia's installer. before running 295.59. i'm updated running 3.2.0-29-generic kernel. machine thinkpad t510 dedicated gpu - nvs 3100m, aka gt218.

don't see useful in x logs or in syslog, let me know if want see them anyway.

help!

sam
