Comment 148 for bug 186382

Hi,

I'm currently on Intrepid i386 w/the 177.70 drivers, and I also experience this issue while using compiz. The only way I have been able to eliminate the problem was to:

a) Add the following to the "Device" section of your xorg.conf:

Option "BackingStore" "false"

b) Set the initial pixmap placement (IPP) to the following:

nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2

With this configuration, the window decoration never corrupts; unfortunately, text input boxes seem to sporadically corrupt (it's happening as I type this very instant).

If I set IPP to 1, 3 or 4, the window decoration corrupts, but the text box never exhibits corruption.
