Bug#683242: Fwd: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: Text rendering glitches on Nvidia 525M

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:1.0.1-3
Severity: normal


Hello, and thanks for all your hard work so far!

I have this problem since i bought this toshiba laptop and using Nouveau.
Sometimes text is rendered scrambled.
eg chromium title text, or text in terminal.
Those glitches take the color of the displayed text and most times are caused
when moving a window.
When this happens it does not apply on every text region of the screen but only
some.
Also text is restored if i hover it or if i minimize the window and then
maximize it.

I could live with this a few months but it turns out to be annoying, especially
when i work on ssh and terminal all of sudden starts having text displayed so
badly scrumbled that often is impossible to read and i have to stop typing and
minimize-maximize.

I thought it has something to do with the kernel itself but i keep falling on
this no matter which kernel version i use upwards from 3.2.

Some screenshots are attached

Thanks a lot,
Paris
