Comment 47 for bug 494166

Alberto,

Before installing new official nvidia drivers (not yet in repos), I updated my lucid first.
I have now nvidia drivers installed from sevenmachines PPA (195.22-0ubuntu0).

After updating X packages to
- x11-common (7.5+1ubuntu1)
- x11-xserver-utils (7.5+1ubuntu1)
- xkb-data (1.7-1ubuntu2)
- xorg (7.5+1ubuntu1)
- xserver-xorg (7.5+§ubuntu1)
everything works (compiz etc.).

But after updating these two packages to
- xserver-common (1.73.902-1ubuntu2)
- xserver-xorg-core (1.73.902-1ubuntu2)
something is broken and compiz, 3D does not work.

However after downgrading those two packages to 1.73.902-1ubuntu1 compiz and 3D works again.

I will next try this with new official nvidia drivers
- nvidia-current_190.53-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
- nvidia-current-modaliases_190.53-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb.
