Hi. I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 with an ATI Mobility Radeon X300 video card. I had this problem in Feisty, and I thought it would be fixed in Gutsy. Sadly, it was not. This is not a big deal to me, because I can live without Compiz.
But I do agree with some people here that it was an error from Ubuntu people to enable Compiz by default in Gutsy. Yes, I do think Compiz is attractive, but it is too unstable (at least for me) for being enabled by default. It should be disabled by default, with a warning: "Compiz can hangs your system. Use it at your own risk." Allow me to say that it will not be a pleasure to hear people saying "hey, I tried that Ubuntu thing you always talk about, but it just hanged my machine like Windows do!". I'm sending in the lspci -vn output. Please, let me know if there is anything I can do for help debugging this. Regards, Adrovane. ** Attachment added: "lspci-vn.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10059389/lspci-vn.log -- X freezes when compiz is enabled on ATI cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
