Description of problem: When trying to turn on composite with "gnome-window-decorator &; compiz --replace gconf" X stops responding to anything. From the local machine only powercycling is possible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz: compiz-0.0.13-0.25.20060817git.fc6, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-38.fc6, xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.2-1.fc6. The card is a M9 (Mobility 9000) in a Thinkpad T40. How reproducible: "gnome-window-decorator &; compiz --replace gconf". Works ever time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: System hangs Expected results: System gets *bling* Additional info: Attached: xorg.conf, lspci output for the graphics card, Xorg.log
Created attachment 137038 [details] xorg.conf The xorg.conf (unchanged from after installation)
Created attachment 137039 [details] Xorg logfile
Created attachment 137040 [details] lspci -v output regarding the graphics card
After calling compiz --replace gconf, the machine seems to be completely dead, it's not reachable via network anymore
This has been happening to me ever since FC6 Test 2. Still happening to me on rawhide. I have a Thinkpad T42 with a Radeon Mobility 7500. The workaround I received from another bug report about this was to login in failsafe mode, run 'desktop-effects', uncheck Enable Desktop Effects, then recheck it, logout, and proceed with a normal GNOME login method. If I don't do this, the machine will lock up each time I login. I have to do this desktop-effects checkbox thing each time in failsafe mode if I don't want it to lock up on normal login. Compiz *does* run for me and the bling does work. But I have to play with desktop-effects before I can run it. Bizarre and annoying.
This looks similar to my bug #204810. It's quite annoying in it's randomness. It worked all weekend for me and this morning at work, I had to disable compiz again after three hangs at first login.
After today's (9/29/06) rawhide update, bling is back for me after experiencing freezeups for since FC3T3. Radeon 9200 AGP on i386 system. Invoked from a gnome-terminal window and did see the following: [kunkelc@P4C800ED ~]$ desktop-effects <---turn on effects libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b compiz: water: GL_ARB_fragment_program is missing compiz: water: GL_ARB_fragment_program is missing compiz: water: GL_ARB_fragment_program is missing [kunkelc@P4C800ED ~]$ desktop-effects <---turn off [kunkelc@P4C800ED ~]$
I can't consistently reproduce this crash, though I've gotten it to lock up a few times. Could you guys try adding Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" to the "Device" section of your xorg.conf files? Thanks, Kristian

This bug should be fixed and the new build will be in rawhide soon. In the meantime, you can get it here: http://people.redhat.com/krh/xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-44.fc6.i386.rpm Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.
