I am getting amazed by the time it takes to fix this error. It has been going on for almost 2 months now and is affecting a lot of people. I switched to Ubuntu some 3 months ago, but are seriously considering going back to xp. Both because this error prohibits any normal work and also shows how slow the error fixing process is. I am not saying that MS are any faster, because they are not, but xp is at least stable to the point of not freezing randomly (everyhting else in xp is crap, I agree). Right now I am not recommending anyone to switch to Ubuntu, because of this error.
I think whoever is looking into this (if any?) should focus on the changes/updates made during the beta period of Gutsy (sometime mid. Oct.), where the Compiz engine among other things where updated. This is where the error first introduced and shortly after the X700 card was blacklisted. Secondly someone in the forum (can not remember who) suggested this might be rooted in the 3D video memory being filled up and not released. This is why the Compiz engine is usually being pointed at as it uses the 3D engine a lot. Sorry for my outbreak, but I sincerely hope this error can be fixed soon, so the world can be convinced that Linux and especially Ubuntu IS a better alternative to Windows. -- X freezes when compiz is enabled on ATI cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108527 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
