compiz --replace locks up the xserver

[unversed]

I'm running Debian lenny (testing), and i've been using beryl for a while now, but because of a debian update that made it unusable i've decided to try compiz, but when i try to run it i loose all my window borders and the whole xserver locks up. does anyone know how to fix this?

this is my xorg.conf

Does your X server really lock up, or does the screen only stop updating? If you run [code:e6b50]compiz --replace --loose-binding ccp[/code:e6b50] on a console, does pressing Ctrl+C to kill Compiz unfreeze your screen?

Does anything get logged to whichever log file(s) Debian uses for logging X/driver/kernel errors?

[SmSpillaz]

Lockups can be caused by weird settings files. Delete .ccs in your home directory

Also, a tip, usually compiz won't cause kernel panics (I haven't heard any cases yet) but will just cause the X server to become responsive, hence you can't switch tty's. To kill everything on the current tty, press Alt-SySRq-K. To change tty's, press Alt-SySRq-R

It has to do with the keybinding plugin and glib plugin both running the glib main thread
