Initial screen is blank - AzaIndustries - 08-19-2014

Hi, firstly I'd just like to say I love all the work everyone does in this community and the emulator is awesome.

Ok I'm having a problem when I run games, I've searched high and low looking for people reporting a similar issue but I couldn't find it.

Basically what happens is, when I launch a game in either fullscreen or window mode nothing gets displayed. It's either black (dolphin 2556) or grey (dolphin 2638).
The game is running because sound is working. If I toggle between full/window once visuals appear and the game runs perfectly normal.
It's the same between starting in fullscreen and switching to window or starting in window and switching to fullscreen.


I've seen a lot of people with the problem of toggling causing a black screen, my problem is the oposite, which made it hard looking for a solution. =P

Any Help would be greatly apreaciated.

Here is some info you might need.
Dolphin versions used: 4.0-2556 (from glennric ppa) and currently 4.0-2638 (compiled myself)
CPU: I5-2500k @ 4.5ghz
GPU: GTX 660TI
OS: Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (fresh install yesterday)
NVIDIA drivers tested on: 340.32 Open Source, 331.38 Proprietary.
I have all dependencies.

All the emulator settings are default, sing opengl renderer. And I've messed with many setting combinations.

If there is anything else you need please let me know.

Yupp, also happening on my Clevo W230SS (i7 4712MQ, GTX 860M) running Linux Mint 17 with bumblebee and nvidia-343 (dolphin-emu-master, 4.0-2554)

Also did a fresh install recently, a weak ago it was working fine with the exact same setup, dont know which dolphin revision that was tho (latest at that time)
