nvidia driver strangeness
Has anyone seen any odd behavior out of the nvidia drivers of late? I upgraded my sid workstation tonight, and got the following updates:
glx-alternative-nvidia 0.1.94
libgl1-nvidia-alternatives 280.13.really.275.28-1
libgl1-nvidia-glx 280.13.really.275.28-1
libglx-nvidia-alternatives 280.13.really.275.28-1
nvidia-alternative 280.13.really.275.28-1
nvidia-common 20110426+1
nvidia-glx 280.13.really.275.28-1
nvidia-installer-cleanup 20110729+2
nvidia-kernel-common 20110729+2
nvidia-kernel-dkms 280.13.really.275.28-1
nvidia-settings 280.13-1
nvidia-support 20110729+2
nvidia-vdpau-driver 280.13.really.275.28-1
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia 280.13.really.275.28-1
In addition, I'm running kernel 3.0.0-1 (3.0.0+39). So here is my problem. Areas of various windows that are supposed to be opaque are now transparent. This includes various buttons on gmail (the send/save now/discard and compose mail/search mail and search the web buttons)...It also happened on my emerald theme, where pieces of the windowborders that were opaque are now transparent, in some themes, the entire title bar.
Another issue is that it broke wine. What was working fine before the update is now giving me
wine: Unhandled page fault on execute access to 0x004be98c at address 0x4be98c (thread 0009), starting debugger...
I guess my questions are 1) Has anyone encountered this? and 2) should I roll back to the nvidia drivers 280.13-5 or even -4?
Thanks,
