I too have the same problem with 3D / Xgl / Glx locking up and crashing X...
I posted here as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-kernel-common/+bug/109721 here are the details... I tried the 2.6.20-16 & 2.6.20-15 kernels with all proprietary & non-proprietary Nvidia drivers...Xgl goes to 100% CPU and dies. So although we still have dual display, no more compiz nor beryl in the twinview config. To Reproduce: Stop all X instances: /etc/init.d/xorg-common stop && /etc/init.d/gdm stop or /etc/init.d/xorg-common stop && /etc/init.d/kdm stop #for kubuntu then in the console run: export DISPLAY=:1 sudo /usr/bin/Xgl :1 -fullscreen +xinerama & glxgears & ...after a few seconds of spinning the Gears will slow down, XGL will go to 100% CPU and a few more mouse clicks will kill the X session completly. heres some of my system info: lspci |grep -i nvid 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2) modprobe -l |grep -i nvid /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/volatile/nvidia_legacy.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/volatile/nvidia_new.ko Kernel: 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP xserver-xorg 7.2-0ubuntu11 Feisty thanks, Jacob -- [nvidia-glx-new] Ubuntu with Nvidia crashes when loading beryl, glxgears, etc... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
