Public bug reported: I went to install Ubuntu (via systemback) onto some Dell D620s, and found "Gnome Flashback (compiz)" crashes back to login prompt, while "Gnome Flashback (Metacity)" does not. The attached logs reflect booting up, (attempting to) log in with Flashback (compiz) then logging in with Flashback (Metacity) to file a bug report. This may be chipset-specific, as I have several other rather antiquated systems: Intel 865-based (Compaq DC5000): Works. (Using LLVMPipe -- this chip is missing a few OpenGL features compiz requires.)
Intel 915-based (Dell Inspiron 2200): Works. Intel 945-based (Dell Latitude D620): Crashes to login prompt (this is the machine in this bug report.) Intel 965-based (Dell Latitude 755?): Works. Intel G35-based (slightly newer Dell Latitude 755): Works. I can rule out software differences; since I knew Compiz worked on a 915, I assumed I'd screwed up my systemback LiveUSB somehow, and test- ran it on the D620, 2200, and one of the 755s, and it worked on the 2200 and 755. Left up to me, I'd categorize this as severity "low", I'm just setting these to Flashback Metacity and then stability seems fine.
