Comment 0 for bug 1098732

I have a problem with Unity and compiz with nouveau driver on my device.

Motherboard is Biostar TF7025-M2 with onboard GPU Nvidia GeForce 7025 with latest BIOS.
By default noveau loads and DRM is enabled. But then I try to use Unity, screen look corrupted, or even Ubuntu totally hangs up.

part of dmesg:
