Nvidia drivers black screen blink

Daerun · 2011-03-29 21:44:33

I use nouveau drivers because at first install, nvidia ones didn't allow X to start at all. They work fine, compiz included.
Now, I thought on giving nvidia ones a new oportunity, and they seemed to work fine, except for a weird black screen "blink" from time to time: when I log in, I see desktop background, then screen turns black for a second, then desktop and compiz load. When I load some web sites with flash in it, black screen for a second. It even happened once at nautilus open o_0

I am pretty sure I correctly configured xorg.conf, 10-monitor.conf and 20-nvidia.conf, is this a common issue or did I missed something?

BTW, video card is a Geforce 8400GS.

Wops, I guess it's a wrong section, sorry, please move the thread.

There is some discussion of "flicker" with nvidia on the arch-general mailing list[1], so something is going on.

I haven't noticed it on my laptop or desktop (both on Arch/Nvidia with nvidia drivers), but others certainly have.

Maybe this is related.

Both topics seem to be related, thanks, although the bug report talks about nouveau, which works fine for me.
