Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.8-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

After installation and reboot, splashy runs fine - exept for F12 and
ESC keys not working (resolved on newer
version) but i get a series of strange black dots on the upper-left of
my display when X (GDM) comes up.
They stay there, static over the gnome-panel, and  sometimes vanish
after a long while. Also, if i restart
GDM they vanish.

Don't quite know what to make of this... I have nvidia proprietary
driver loaded. Maybe fb and nvidia conflict?

I've attached a screenshot.

Thanks!
