I've tried installing Archlinux several times over the course of a few months. I always get a text corruption, ie random weird characters or blocks or nothing instead of an actual command I'm typing. I use a Dell XPS M1530, with NVidia 8600m. I had the 180.51 nvidia driver installed, with Compiz Fusion and Gnome. This text corruption only happens with Gnome. KDE has no problems like this. I'm curious if anyone found a workaround? Google turns up nothing about this.

Did you ever try --loose-binding and --direct-rendering for compiz? I'm not sure these are the right parameter names but you'll figure out.

Have you tried with different terminals?

Haven't been back to Arch in a while, but if memory serves, xterm and VT did not have that issue. I could use xterm as a workaround, but it's so ugly, that's why gnome-terminal exists in the first place. Using one or both of the Compiz options mentioned above causes either window tearing when moving/resizing or causes the Cube rotation to glitch, one or the other. Odd that this bug doesn't exist in Ubuntu, how did they solve it?
I like the idea of rolling release, and I like the extreme configurability of gnome, but I won't move to arch completely until that nvidia bug has been fixed. Ubuntu already fixed theirs months ago.
So Please, someone make me an Arch!
