Eventually things got so bad that the cursor started to flicker and no input worked. No mouse movement. No clicks. No keyboard input. So I rebooted and logged in from the command prompt.
I ran the following command: sudo apt-get remove fglrx Then I removed all xorg.conf* from /etc/X11 (The Xorg only uses it if it's there, but the GUI Tools store their settings elsewhere now, right?) Then I rebooted. I don't have effects at all anymore, but at least things are working again. CONCLUSION: DO NOT USE THE CURRENT (8.743.3.3) PROPRIETARY DRIVER FROM THE AMD/ATI WEB SITE!!! I have a fresh (as of last week,) full install of Lucid AMD64. I am using ATI FirePro v3700. -- [Kubuntu 10.04] Compositing works, but cannot choose desktop effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569591 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
