Bug 438794

Thanks for the report. We are sorry that we cannot help you with your problem,
but we are not able to support binary-only drivers. If you would be able to
reproduce this issue using only open source software, please, reopen this bug
with the additional information, but in meantime I have no choice than to close
this bug as CANTFIX (because we really cannot fix it).

For users who are experiencing problems installing, configuring, or using the
unsupported 3rd party proprietary "nvidia" video driver, Nvidia provides
indirect customer support via an online web based support forum.  Nvidia
monitors these web forums for commonly reported problems and passes them on to
Nvidia engineers for investigation.  Once they've isolated a particular problem,
it is often fixed in a future video driver update.

The NVNews Nvidia Linux driver forum is located at:

    http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14

Once you have reported this issue in the Nvidia web forums, others who may have
experienced the particular problem may be able to assist.  If there is a real
bug occuring, Nvidia will be able to determine this, and will likely resolve the
issue in a future driver update for the operating system releases that they
officially support.

While Red Hat does not support the proprietary nvidia driver, users requiring
technical support may also find the various X.Org, XFree86, and Red Hat mailing
lists helpful in finding assistance:

X.Org mailing lists:
    http://www.freedesktop.org/XOrg/XorgMailingLists

XFree86 mailing lists:
    http://www.xfree86.org/sos/lists.html

Red Hat mailing lists:

The same problem happens in Thinkpad X60 (# Graphics: Intel Media Accelerator 950)

This continue to fail for me with compiz-0.7.2-2.fc9 and friends.

Reverting to earlier packages 'fixes':

compiz-0.6.2-6.fc9.i386.rpm
compiz-fusion-0.6.0-14.fc9.i386.rpm
compiz-fusion-extras-0.6.0-3.fc9.i386.rpm
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome-0.6.0-3.fc9.i386.rpm
compiz-fusion-gnome-0.6.0-14.fc9.i386.rpm
compiz-gnome-0.6.2-6.fc9.i386.rpm

When running with 0.7.2-2 I find these in my ~/.xsession errors:

(got 125 of these before I killed compiz).

Not sure if its relevant, but I notice these '(WW)' entries in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

I attach complete xorg.0.log below.

Hardware is Thinkpad X60, intel 945 graphics, no xorg.conf.

Should be fixed in 0.7.2-3

I had encountered the same issue for an ATI X800 PCIe card, and
indeed, compiz-0.7.2-3.fc9 fixed it.
