Ahmed Khan, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Desktop effects worked on previous versions of Ubuntu and also on Mandriva Linux on this computer when my video card is using the open source 'ati' driver. I downloaded and burned the Ubuntu 9.10 RC desktop livecd ISO to a CD. I booted my computer from the CD. When it got to the desktop, the desktop background was black. However, although the background was stayed black, the desktop effects were working (for eg, when I switched virtual desktops the virtual desktop switching effect worked). I changed the wallpaper but the background still remained black. When I disabled desktop effects, the background became normal and showed the proper background. I went to System>Administration and clicked the Hardware Drivers tool. The Hardware Drivers tool said that no proprietary drivers were being used. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 RC to my hard disk. After installing it and rebooting from the hard disk, the problem was still there. I installed kubuntu-desktop, logged out of GNOME and logged into KDE. When I logged into KDE KDE's desktop effects were not enabled. I went to KDE's system settings tool and clicked display and clicked enable desktop effects. The background became black. I disabled KDE's desktop effects and the background became normal. I installed all the available updates for my system and rebooted, but after rebooting the problem was still there on both GNOME and KDE. === SOLUTION === Add this to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "my-radeon" Driver "ati" Option "AGPSize" "128" EndSection See http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8221972&postcount=6 for more info To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/462436/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
