We should not forget that this bug will then also apply for some ATI cards etc. ** Changed in: desktop-effects (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- desktop-effects fails without explanation with nvidia GeForce Go 7400 and nv driver https://launchpad.net/bugs/92370 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
