Description Juergen Rose 2013-05-29 08:21:15 UTC 
After installing libX11-1.5.99.902 and libXau-1.0.8 I see strange effects on systems with NVidia cards.
At the first system (Gallium 04 on NV86 - NVIDIA Corporation G86M [Quadro NVS 140M]) the gnome desktop background is set to a green gradient, but only a black background is shown.
At the second system, gnome systems settings says Gallium 0.4 on NVD9 - Forced Fallback modus On (NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 520]) the the desktop background is not refreshed. If I switch at the second system to the 3D mode, the issue with the background disappears but the desktop is frequently crashing.

This bug is also filed as a gentoo bug at

It is most likely that the NV86 and NVD9 problems are unrelated. For the NV86 problem, can you try 3.14-rc1? We tracked down an issue where some G86M cards had a disabled PCRYPT unit which wreaked havoc on all sorts of things; 3.14-rc1 will fall back on M2MF in that case.

For the NVD9 issue... also try 3.14-rc1, lots of stuff has been fixed. I can't really tell from your description what you're seeing the issue to be, but perhaps, whatever it is, has been fixed.

If the issues persist, please update the bug with *detailed* information as to what you're seeing, attach logs, etc.

This G86 card seems to have some more issues, see bug 81986.
