I had the same situation described in comment #12, and changing screen resolution, even down to 1024x768, didn't help much. It did reduce the flashing and black screen, but not enough to make it really usable. So I think that reducing screen resolution makes the problem "less bad", not actually better.
That having been said, with the latest (as of Aug 29) updates, the black screen and display artifact issues went away, and when Compiz crashes, Unity manages to restart itself after a short delay, so the machine isn't completely unusable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927168 Title: compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in memmove() from drisw_update_tex_buffer() from dri_set_tex_buffer2() from drisw_bind_tex_image() from __glXBindTexImageEXT() from TfpTexture::enable() from enableFragmentOperationsAndDrawGeometry() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/927168/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
