[SOLVED] NVIDIA proprietary driver causes 6 screen on Ideapad Y450

Hi all,

I just upgraded my xorg and nvidia (295.20-1) to the latest version in testing and something (maybe fun) happened.

With nvidia driver, my screen looks like this: http://picplz.com/user/hexchain/pic/93tqc/.

Currently I'm using mouveau BUT mouse pointer lags when changing icon, e.g. moving across window border and textarea border.

Package version:

xorg-server 1.11.99.903-1
libgl 8.0.1-1
nouveau-dri 8.0.1-1
xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20120210-1

The hardware is a Lenovo Ideapad Y450A, NVIDIA GT 130M graphics card. I've googled around but didn't find anything useful. Is there anyone having the same problem?

Thanks for help in advance.

EDIT: I tried to enter nvidia-settings and found it reported my screen resolution as 640x480. Changing this to 1366x768 didn't help.

Oh sorry. I checked the wiki and found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … s.22_issue

Will see if it works.

It worked perfectly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
