If you are using Xgl, the information here might help: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/GettingStarted#Install_Beryl_using_proprietary_FGLRX_drivers_from_ATI In short, to fix that problem with Xgl (on display :1), something like this should be run (probably before kde/gnome session startup): cookie="$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ' ' -f 9)" xauth -i add :1 .

[compiz] Slow scrolling in compiz
fglrx 8.47 (catalyst 8.3) completely resolves this issue. Just turn these options on in your xorg.conf Option "Textured2D" "on" Option "TexturedXrender" "on" Regards, Karthik Ramgopal BITS Pilani, India ___ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz

KDE probably detects that it's not the only X server running and assumes that that could be another user and so does not give you the option to shutdown. Just a rough idea... not confirmed.

[compiz] No shutdown option in KDE with Compiz-Fusion
I have installed Compiz-Fusion on several Ubuntu machines, all different hardware, with KDE. In all of them, the option to shutdown or reset the computer is absent from the KDE logout buttons when running Compiz-Fusion. I have searched google and see that others have this problem, but I do not see a solution. Is there a known solution to this condition? Thanks in advance.

Re: [compiz] Slow Scrolling in Compiz
*It is* a driver issue. Sometimes downgrading the driver to version 8.40 can help (but I don't know if your card is supported). Regards, Pierpaolo On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 3:34 PM, David C.
