If someone else runs into this bug, note that adding: Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
inside the "Device" section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then rebooting makes the system run just fine without any crashes (using XAA instead of EXA probably gives not so good gfx perf and I don't think you can run compiz with XAA). Still, this is a very useful workaround for people waiting for a fix. -- xorg hangs on startup (intel G45, compiz turned off) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273708 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
