Comment 0 for bug 1010794

Hello,

there are several serious graphic and text corruptions on Quantal with nouveau drivers (which are used by default).

To reproduce:
- Boot a Quantal live system or a fresh installation
- Start software-center.
- Move the mouse in its window or click anything.
Result: Text and some graphics become massively corrupted (See also attached screenshots and short demo video).

I have seen this kind of corruption so far in software-center, ubiquity-slideshow (during installation) and one time on filename text field of gtk-filechooser.

Booting the system with "nomodeset" seems to make the problem go away, as well as installing the propritary Nvidia drivers.

Kind regards,
Jan
