@bigdoby, actually I suspect *most* people's issues reported here are unrelated bugs, and people are adding their comments here because they have symptoms that match the (generic) title of this bug. But we won't know until we see some backtraces that we can match up.
@Nick, Nervous, warmrobot, please post backtraces from your freezes and Xorg.0.log. We have more than enough confirmations so there's no need for more, unless accompanied by a backtrace. See my comment #160. ** Summary changed: - X freezes when compiz is enabled on ATI cards + X freezes when compiz is enabled on ATI X300 ** Description changed: i just installed the new ubuntu 7.4 on my laptop toshiba m40x with ati x300. i've enabled desktop effects with no window wobbling and with cube rotation. it works quite well but sometime, without any clear reason, the desktop freezes completely (happened simply moving the mouse on an icon or opening a new application): the mouse moves but can't interact with the desktop no chance to ctrl-alt-bksp, or to change console (ctrl-alt-f1), keyboard is not responding i have to shout down the computer from the power button. (restarting everything works again but occasionally some new bugs appear) Don't know how to give more informations. there are a number of other minor but annoying bugs correlated, i don't know if they have to be posted here or in the compiz bugsite. they happen quite frequently and are: after maximizing a window it is not possible to unmaximize from the title bar icon (only from the bottom panel) the number of workspaces resets to 1 and the cube is not able to rotate some windows are not refreshed and the content is not visible (as bug 91810) some windows are visible in every workspace and more.. + + [Note] + If you are experiencing a freeze on ATI hardware please post a backtrace and your Xorg.0.log. Adding comments to this bug without these two pieces of information simply adds noise and does not help towards finding a fix. Backtraces are needed at this point to make progress on this bug. -- X freezes when compiz is enabled on ATI X300 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108527 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
