[Solved] NVIDIA artefacts on text while browsing web

Hey,

I have nVidia 7300GT card with nvidia-304xx drivers and some webpages look like this:

Before I used noveau drivers but had problems with flashplayer so I changed to proprietary again. My card is marked as legacy since Valve's cooperation with nvidia. Any ideas?

You need to use:
xorg-server 1.13.0-3
xorg-server-common 1.13.0-3

instead of the 1.13.0-4 in the repositories
until a patch to use the pixman glyph cache is either removed or that bug is corrected in the nvidia driver.
Look at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32612 where it is described

Thanks for the info! smile
Unfortunately I have done pacman's cache cleaning so I'll wait for 1.13.1 which should(?) fix it.

You will find the old version in the ARM. Use the link to read more. If you read more about this bug, it is not for sure that this will be fixed in the next coming version.
You can check out Arch Rollback Machine

Or you can rebuild the xorg-server package after commenting out the line where the patch is applied in the PKGBUILD.  On a related issue, with the rebuild server, there are no performance issues in firefox or thunderbird either.
