Created attachment 51261 [details] Garbage when the screensaver starts When menu appears or when the screensaver starts garbage are showed on screen. I'm using nouveau in version 20110303 with xorg v 1.10.4 and my nvidia card is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98M [Quadro NVS 160M] (rev a1). The first attachment has been taken when the screen saver just begun. The garbage is located on the top and on the bottom of the picture (note that the horizontal lines you can see inside the picture is normal.) The second attachment has been taken when a terminal (yakuake) was opening from the top of the screen. This garbage appears when the terminal is "falling down". Once this animation is finished the terminal appears fine. It's the same with menus when they appear with fading: during the fading there is garbage and once it's over the menu appears fine. Finaly I always seen this problem with nouveau driver and don't have it with the proprietary nvidia driver. AS far as I can imagine I guess this is a small bug concerning an uninitialized buffer?

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report. In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one. Thanks, The Nouveau Team
