This seems to be a generic texture_from_pixmap problem. If I run metacity w/compositor it works fine, same with metacity w/xcompmgr. When I try kwin with 2D (Render) compositing it works too.
Now the fun parts. Using kwin with OpenGL texture_from_pixmap compositing dies, same as compiz. Using kwin with OpenGL shared memory compositing ran like it was right on the edge of just locking up. So, this is still probably a driver problem but not one that is easily fixed. I'm pretty sure the constant updates are the problem. This screensaver seems to be a bit like glxgears, it just runs as fast as possible all the while melting your system. -- braid screensaver crashes system with compiz activated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/101943 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
