View Full Version : Frozen screen (no redraws?) on compiz start

I'm running ubuntu edgy with Xorg 7.1.1 on Radeon 9200 SE. I tried using the edgy backport (from feisty) of compiz version 1:0.3.3-0ubuntu2~git2006112~edgy1 and it worked fine. I decided to try compiz-freedesktop 0.3.4-0gandalfn1 and I got a screen freeze on compiz start. The screen just doesn't redraw, but compiz otherwise apparently works: for example, I can focus the terminal and type "killall compiz" into it.

I tried diffing the sources of the backport and the gandalfn versions. I figured out that there are different defaults for some options, so I need to start the gandalfn version with compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --strict-binding gconf
to get the same settings as with the backport version. But that does not change anything.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for good answer :)

It always helps in case someone else has the same problem as you in the future.
