[Paolo Sammicheli]

Performing weekly test with proprietary Video Driver.
http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/X/ProprietaryDrivers#Different%20resolutions

Hardware: nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS. Trying to change resolution result in redrawing issues. Attaching a screenshot.

Warning: previous week, this testcase was working perfectly, this is an one week regression!

Is it another bug to open on launchpad?

Try running 'apport-collect 750440' again; I think that issue should be fixed now.

[Paolo Sammicheli (xdatap1)]

I Just updated the system but the problem is not solved:

$ apt-cache policy nvidia-current
nvidia-current:
  Installato: 270.30-0ubuntu3
  Candidato: 270.30-0ubuntu3
  Tabella versione:
 *** 270.30-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Do you still need I run apport-collect again?

I just realised that maybe Bryce Harrington meant the apport issue, not the resolution thing. Yes, the apport problem is resolved now, it succesfully uploaded all the information to the bug. The resolution issue is still there, btw.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hey xdatap1,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

[Paolo Sammicheli (xdatap1)]

Hello Bryce,

I just performed the testcase with Oneiric and nvidia-current 280.13-0ubuntu6 it works properly.

Marking it fixed release, thanks for the reminder.
