nouveau GTX960 corruption under KDE Plasma

The selection of menu items gets corrupted under KDE Plasma 5.7 with a Geforce GTX 960 and the nouveau driver. When I turn off compositing or use the Nvidia binary driver, these corruptions are gone.

What Xorg and kernel versions are you using?
Comment 2 peter.eszlari 2016-10-15 03:57:43 UTC
I'm running on Kubuntu 16.10 with Xorg 1.18.4 and kernel 4.8.0.

I think this is related with all Maxwell2 cards. I have a 980m, and I also have a lot of artifacts on screen, and the mouse have a weird delay.

My bad, I meant a weird UI refresh delay for mouse.

I just published some patches that allow you to use xf86-video-nouveau instead of modesetting for GM20x GPUs. Can you see if using it improves the situation at all? You can build it from

This fixes the bug. But from Xorg.log it looks like I was already running nouveau before.
