I believe this is the same bug that I've run into when trying to run the
intrepid alpha 2 liveCD on my laptop, which uses an i945GM chipset.
When the livefs boots, the desktop background comes up, then everything
goes blank. If I switch to VT1, I see that compiz.real is running; if I
kill it and switch back to VT7, the desktop appears (sans window
manager, of course). Starting metacity in its place, everything works
fine.
I have an issue with similar symptoms under VMware, but I'm not able to
determine whether it's the same cause since it's not possible to switch
VTs under those conditions.
Marked as high-importance and milestoned for alpha-2, since others in
#ubuntu-testing are reporting similar problems, and this appears to be
preventing any of the available testers to get a good desktop install
test for the alpha.
** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
