I actually get this same error but it works for me if I use the whole ubuntu-desktop. Server + needed packages gives me this behaviour.
<EDIT> I have fx series also. </EDIT>

I have a Geforce 7600 in another machine. I believe I will swap out and perform another test. I am wondering if this is an old video card issue.
Thank-you for the confirmation that regular ubuntu-desktop installation works with no issues.
Thanks.

Grast, did you recompile XBMC after you upgraded the nvidia driver ?
I had some weird video issues after upgrading my nvidia driver but they went away after a clean build.

Not sure what that corruption is, could be bad video memory or something. Can you try taking a screenshot from within XBMC (printscreen key) and uploading that?

I was able to remove the issue by switching to a 6800XT. I believe the issue is related to the FX 5600 video card.
Thanks.

If it's the same issue which I had (Seems so) then I got it removed by adding
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
To my device in xorg.conf
Section "Monitor"
[...]
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection
Seems they have changed standard for this on my card with the latest drivers
<EDIT> I also did a complete reinstallation of the nvidia driver and complete removal of envy and reinstalled the absolute latest, 0.9.10 of envy </EDIT>

Topfs,
Thank-you for the suggestion. I have test box coming on line soon for skin development. I will try that when I get a chance.
Thanks.
