Description Brian G. Anderson 2006-10-05 13:00:22 UTC
Description of problem:
I have a ATI card (FireGL Mobility T3  [M10 NT]), which I usually run at
1600x1200.  I started desktop-effects, all the window borders disappeared and
then the system locked hard.  I had to reboot the machine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-ati.i386                    6.6.2-4.fc6 
compiz.i386                              0.0.13-0.31.20060817gi


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start X at 1600x1200 resolution and desktop-effects not enabled
2. start desktop-effects and enable
3.
  
Actual results:
all the window borders disappear and the the system locks requiring a reboot.


Expected results:
Enabled desktop effects


Additional info:
If I reduce the resolution to 1024x768 then I can enable the desktop effects. 
When I restart X, it comes up at 1600x1024 with compize working fine.

Are you running at least xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-43.fc6?  If not, please
updgrade to that version and see if it fixes the lockup, thanks.

Comment 2 Brian G. Anderson 2006-10-05 15:42:02 UTC
I was running xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-43.fc6 when the error occurred, but
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-44.fc6 has come through and that seems to have fixed
the problem.

Great, thanks for confirming this.
