[Bug 1010794] [NEW] Graphics/text corruptions in some applications with nouveau drivers

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundation's Bug Bot (crichton):

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
