Yes, there is a small risk you get an unstable system until you reinstall the default mesa packages again. But in most cases you can log in with "failsafe Gnome session" or "failsafe terminal" which will not start compiz (the mesa libraries are hardly used in this case) so that you can reinstall the default packages. Of course if you don't feel confident about it, don't do it.
I am not sure testing in a virtual box will be good enough since these drivers work closely against the hardware. But you can of course try that first since it is very safe. -- [RS482] pipes assert failure: pipes: ../../radeon/radeon_cs_gem.c:129: cs_gem_write_reloc: Assertion `boi->space_accounted' failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
