Fast User white out still present.

I followed the bug report for the VT switch bug months ago and had no issue switching to and fron tty. Have also been running the beta 169.04 for compiz stability.

Considering the changelog for this driver :

Fixed several X rendering issues.
Fixed stability problems with some GeForce 6200/7200/7300 GPUs multi-core/SMP systems.
Fixed a problem with Compiz after VT-switching.
Improved RENDER performance.
Fixed a bug that caused corruption with redirected XV on GPUs without TurboCache support.
Improved usability of NVIDIA-settings at lower resolutions like 1024x768 and 800x600.

I had hoped all would be well.

Oh well....
