I subsequently attempted to downgrade the xserver to gusty from the disc however this caused a number of issues dependencies and such. It is not an easy task by any means.
I had to reload 7.10 fresh for work reasons. I will try again in the near future. In the mean time I was reminded of an old 7.10 fix, has anyone with this problem tried installing : xserver-xgl if memory serves me, it is not installed by default on Hardy 8.04. Under 7.10, installing 'xserver-xgl' was the way to fix a composite issue with Compiz for ATI Radeon cards. Before installing xserver-xgl however I would make sure that you have the following at the end of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (though don't hold me to it) : Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "1" EndSection -- [fglrx] Ati x1600Pro White screen on active desktop fx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196900 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
