No! I am a legacy nvidia driver user with an old card (NV10) card who *does not* have (and never has) this problem.

The legacy driver is meant for old (approximately any card which is a geforce 2 or older but excluding the geforce 2mx) cards only. All the people I've seen reporting these problems have had "new" nvidia cards. Consequently they should all be using nvidia-glx.

Some people with new cards are using the nvidia-glx-legacy because they are having various problems but such a system (new card + legacy driver) is not a combination supported by nvidia.
