Description Sam Varshavchik 2007-07-01 11:42:52 UTC 
Tried using nouveau instead of nv on my hardware.

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-2.0.96-2.fc7, Fedora 7

Aside from nouveau being noticably slower than nv, the last eight or so horizontal lines, at the bottom of the desktop, were filled with garbage noise, that kept changing in sync with the rest of the desktop's activity.

The interesting part is that I tried to run compiz, that obviously failed, but when I got back to the desktop, the display corruption was gone!

Is this still an issue?
Comment 5 Sam Varshavchik 2008-01-17 16:26:31 UTC 
Just gave xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-2.1.5-2.fc8 a spin.

This is no longer an issue. No more display corruption, and the driver is just slightly slower than nv.

Thanks for your work.
