X still crashes with desktop effects turned on now that Kubuntu 8.10 final has been released. The release notes mentioned: Hangs with desktop effects on Intel 830MG and 845G video cards
There is a bug in the Intel video driver for the older intel 830 and 845 integrated video cards that are used on laptops like the IBM R30. Desktop effects with compiz will not work on those chips and will freeze the system. For new installations, please install using the safe graphics mode (press F4 in the startup screen) on these systems and disable desktop effects via System -> Preferences -> Appearance, clicking on "Visual effects" and choosing "None". Is this the same issue that I am experiencing? Is this being actively worked on? -- x crashes with kde desktop effects on Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
