Comment 40 for bug 270377

I experienced more or less the same redraw issues, on an up-to-date Intrepid AMD64 install with a GeForce 8200. The failures to redraw window contents occur only with desktop-effects turned on, and mostly in Firefox but sometimes also in other applications. I tried both the standard 177.82 and the new 180.22 nvidia drivers, but both experienced redraw problems. Additionally, the 180.22 driver destabilised USB and X.org on my system (interrupt issues?), so I had to switch back to 177. Next I tried updating compiz to 0.7.9-git20080918. This seems to have helped a bit, I now only get redraw issues after opening a lot of windows (>32). If I keep the number of open windows below 32, everything seems to be OK. Strange...
