Title:
  Screen corruption when logging in

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After logging in, the screen became a mess (see attached image).
  This clearly happens at random, because I restarted lightdm and logged back in normally.

  I am sure this problem is caused by nouveau (I don't know exactly which package). I got this with oneiric too.
  The proprietary NVIDIA driver works just fine (except that it has it's own share of problems -- for example, being very slow on my computer).
  The problem happened after uninstalling the NVIDIA proprietary driver.

  Ubuntu: precise

  In one of the logfiles there seems to be a problem with Nouveau (but I
  don't know which).

  Bug reported with ubuntu-bug.
