I'm using 13.10 and a HP Pavilion dv6 with an Intel/NVIDIA GeForce GT630M hybrid, where bumblebee is needed to make the proprietary driver work. This isn't used for Unity/Compiz so the Xorg driver I'm using is intel.
Mir does not work on this hardware - Xorg won't start (but that's off- topic). To disable it, I commented out this line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-unity-system-compositor.conf #type=unity With this configuration I get the black window border / black terminal symptom in Compiz consistently. I am not sure what the trigger was, but it was when I re-installed stuff in an attempt to get bumblebee working. It wasn't triggered when I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10, but it happened some time after. I *have* had it working, and it may be that I previously got Mir to work (because I definitely tried to do this). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242115 Title: Black window borders, black terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1242115/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
