Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1.fc6 How reproducible: Just about every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Buy a Lenovo ThinkPad T43p (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T43p for hardware specifications, I have the 15" 1600x1200 TFT). 2. Enable desktop effects using the xorg radeon driver. 3. Use desktop for a while, possibly log out and back in again. Actual results: On login, compiz will *sometimes* fail to start; disabling and then re-enabling desktop effects fixes this. However, after several minutes to several hours of use, the desktop will eventually hang (always in the middle of displaying a fade, wobble, or other effect). Expected results: The same stability I got out of the non-AIGLX desktop. ;-) This was actually a very stable setup prior to trying out AIGLX, with both the radeon driver and with fglrx.

This on a Thinkpad T42. See above attachments. Workaround is obviously to disable desktop effects however given that it took me a while to find the (probable) cause I would ask this to be re-prioritised upwards as there is likely to be a number of folks who are banging their heads into walls/screens on this one.

Does not appear to exist in 12.10/3.5.0-21-generic, either using radeon or fglrx. As I've upgraded, I won't be available for further testing. BTW, IIRC this issue started at 3.2.0-30, and -29 was okay. HTH.

This is present in 12.04 as of 12/18/2012, current on all Ubuntu updates. Mouse moves, mouse cursor changes as movement across existing (but non- redrawn) window borders, buttons, etc. Clicking causes normal behavior (besides the window not redrawing). Moving a window will cause all mouse cursor change functionality to stop. This normally happens after my monitors go into ACPI power save mode. Screensaver is disabled. Radeon 6950. Two of them, though only one is usable in this marginal OS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108527 Title: X freezes when compiz is enabled on ATI X300 Status in The Great Mass of Obsolete Junk: Invalid Status in xf86-video-ati: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” source package in Hardy: Invalid Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Fedora: Invalid Bug description: 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.
