[Nvidia] windows going black when minimizing/maximizing

**Mcgloud** · August 27th, 2014

Hello friends,

Maybe some of you who are using the Nvidia drivers know of this problem.
Everytime I minimize my windows they are going black when they "fade" into the Unity launcher. No big deal. Doesn't look that neat but I can deal with it.
But the frustrating part is that when I maximize them again, 9 out of 10 times they're all black or bugged.

This problem has been haunting me sinds 12.10. I've Googled it many times and found lots of Launchpad bug entries but still no solution.

Does somebody know a workaround or fix? It's about time they fix this issue.

Regards,

Mcgloud

I'm no Nvidia expert but if I were the very first thing I'd want to know is precisely which video card you're talking about. It's impossible to support 'nvidia'.
