           Summary: GTK 2.8 rendering glitches with nvidia and
                    RenderAccel=true
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
               URL: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/printthread.php?t=65212
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux-restricted-modules
        AssignedTo: daniel.stone at ubuntu.com

When using nvidia proprietary driver with RenderAccel enabled GTK in breezy
(2.8.3) text rendering is broken in Firefox and occasional glitches are
displayed in other applications. Details here:

Rationale for using nvidia' driver: nv is unfunctional on my configuration
(6800LE + 20" DFP) - no 3d, not even native resolution support.

Rationale for using RenderAccel: at the moment GTK with Cairo support is
unbearably SLOW without acceleration.
