** Description changed: Binary package hint: compiz after upgrading to jaunty RC1 from intrepid, Desktop effects sometimes crash when clicking on picture links in firefox. When trying to reenable them through the appearance settings, they don't get reenabled, even though the appearance applet seems to think so. At lest the radio button stays next to "normal" after I am asked if I want to keep the settings (and I click on keep settings). If I try to start compiz manually at this point, I get the following output: nel...@enterprise:~$ compiz Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log Detected PCI ID for VGA: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: present. Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (3840x1200) to maximum 3D texture size (4096): Passed. Checking for Software Rasterizer: Not present. Checking for nVidia: present. Checking for FBConfig: present. running under gnome seesion, checking for gnomecompat Checking for Xgl: not present. /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format Aborted Note that compiz does not exit, it just sits there after the "aborted" message, but there are no desktop effects and no acceleration. I have desktop effects again if I log out and back in. It seems to work fine until I start using firefox. + + update: Actually not only does compiz not work, any OpenGL application stops working (tested with games, googleearth, etc.) + This also happens after a while if I don't run compiz at all, just use a few 3D applications. + + I forgot to add my hardware in the original description: nvidia 6600GT, + binary driver that comes with jaunty (32bit), dual athlon MP 2GHz. + + All of this worked fine in Intrepid.
