This fix is known to work with the nVidia non-Free driver package on Xfce & Openbox. It should work on any GTK based DE/WM & possibly others. This page will be updated in that regard as feedback comes in.
21-Mar-2015 - Fully re-written due to new information coming in:
Possible side effects
- It is likely that whenever your mouse touches the top border of your screen it will dissapear (only whilst touching that border).
- It is possible that 3D intensive games may be slowed by the use of this fix. (Still waiting on feedback for that one.)
- Possible problem with some docks. It is not a problem with the Openbox dock or Tint2. (Will add information to this if it comes along.)
Here is the relatively simple procedure
1. Open /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf in your favourite text editor with root permission.
2. Under Section Device add the following line
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
3. Save the modified file using the Save As option in your text editor, as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/95-mhwd.conf
4. Again, as root, delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/@90-mhwd.conf file, or 90-mhwd.conf file (whichever you have).
5. Log out/in.
That's it.
