THE SETUP:
Im experiencing something strange with compiz and my ubuntu 6.10 i386 machine.
I have tried both the deb releases in ubuntu universe (0.3.3) as well as the ones in
#deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu edgy stable
I belive the above were 0.2.2.
I am using the stock ubuntu 6.10 i386 xorg w/ the i810 driver. I have the agpgart+vesafb+fbcon modules compiled into kernel 2.6.19.
Other then that, its a pretty stock install on a Panasonic CF-W2 laptop.
Using both apt sources compiz works nice, and alot smoother then beryl did. Also when using beryl i had to use xgl, and when i use compiz i can use it via regular xorg.
I have tried starting compiz both via the gnome manager applet, "GL Display" to enabled, as well as running compiz using
compiz --replace --etc --etc
I have tried various combinations of the possible paramaters.
Now I should mention compiz launches fine, doesnt fuck up too much, and runs quite smooth concidering the low quality of video card this laptop has, a i855(i believe) using 32 megs of shared ram.
THE BUG:
Like I said compiz runs fine, the only issue is when i have SOME dialogs in non-maximized mode, the content doesnt show. The application continues running fine, but unless it is maximized the content of the dialog is frozen.
Example, gnome-terminal... when its in non-maximized mode, the content is in a frozen state, not updating. When you maximize, everything continues running.
Example 2, just typing any commands. Doing ls wont show anything untill you maximize, then the content is updated.
It also happens to gnome gui applications too. Same thing, but not to all applications, for example, firefox is fine maximized and non-maximized.
That basicly sums it up.
This happens for only SOME not all applications.
Also I should mention after tweaking with the compiz settings, this SOMETIMES, rarely stops happening.
If I missed anything let me know ill answer any questions gladly.
Thanks.
