The only difference I could find in the Xorg.0.log files that I consider relevant was that it contains the following line only running kernel 2.6.32: (WW) RADEON(0): You need a newer kernel for sync extension
And that it contains the following line only running kernel 2.6.35: (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_swap_control and GLX_MESA_swap_control ** Attachment added: "2.6.35: Xorg.0.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/687489/+attachment/1767116/+files/Xorg.0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687489 Title: Random freezes and no desktop effects after upgrading to maverick (radeon driver, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
