OK the segfaults were the nvidia binary module causing conflicts. I have uninstalled nvidia-glx-177, and the default libglx.so from xserver-xorg- core has priority.
XAA: The same wild redraw problems, with the addition that the desktop locks up within seconds. Mouse moves, but nothing is clickable, CTRL- ALT-F1 does not work, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE does not work. EXA: Compiz works really well! Windows can be dragged / resized without problem / graphical artefacts. HOWEVER: Any attempt to play video in totem-gstreamer will cause X to bomb out within 5 seconds. X reloads and shows the GDM login screen. After this has happened for the first time, it is not possible to use CTRL-ALT-F1 - the screen changes but shows a corrupted 'screenshot' of the X screen rather than the black virtual terminal. With compiz switched off in EXA mode, videos play perfectly and the system is stable. So, still no further forward in terms of a stable, usable compiz desktop on this hardware. -- Visual effects on Radeon X300 RV370 5B60 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156905 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
