Title:
[i965] reflection plugin freezes systems with Intel GM965
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Enabling reflection plugin results freezes. Either random (about 2-3
per hour), or the freeze is instant and prevents logging on to the
desktop until compiz can be disabled from the shell.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X61 with Intel GM965 graphics adapter. I have
migrated my home from another Lenovo (T60) with fglrx adapter, and the
dot compiz directory had the issue.
After two days of looking for the cause of the random freezes,
reproduced both in 32 & 64 bits Ubuntu, with and without wireless
drivers as pointed out by some people, the main cause looks like
related ONLY with this compiz plugin.
Disabling this plugin solves the problem
Steps to reproduce:
1. Be sure your driver adapter is GM965 (fglrx worked fine)
2. apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra ccsm
3. ccsm
4. Enable reflection plugin (no special options)
5. Work as usual... after a while the system should crash -- sometimes in
less than 5 seconds. Some systems will freeze instantly, and will also when
trying to boot into gnome or failsafe gnome,
