I can confirm the bug is still there on a fresh install of Alpha6 with all updates.
I started compiz via SKIP_CHECKS and was able to use it for some minutes, then X froze and this time I couldn't even use SysRq to communicate with the kernel in order to shut it down. I have to say I'm surprised there hasn't been any feedback from the people in charge. Is nobody working on this? Has it been reported upstream? I would be glad to help but it seems like there's very little interest in working on this. Anyway... I did some investigation myself and installed Feisty again as well as Debian testing on this machine. Both are running fine with Compiz and the ati/radeon driver. But both are using version 1:6.6.3-2 of xserver-xorg-video-ati so that may be no surprise after all. If there's anything I can do to help investigate some more, please let me know. -- X freezes when Compiz is enabled on ATI Radeon Mobility https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195051 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
