Description of problem: With compiz-0.3.2-1.fc7 installed, screen does not display properly. "Black holes" on screen where windows are supposed to be, and no text or images displayed. Cursor changes as mouse is moved, appears typing is working. As per various postings, I've tried increasing video ram to 80MB and setting 'Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"' in screen section of xorg.conf. This is on a Thinkpad X60 with '00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)'. Reverting to compiz-0.0.13-0.32.20060817git.fc6.i386 'makes it work' again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.3.2-1.fc7.i386 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. update compiz; reboot 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
My PC is Thinkpad X60s which is running rawhide (just updated today - 20061113) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) I have similar problem which blank screen will be reverted to 2D desktop when I killed the compiz process in virtual console. (w/ no WM then) At the 2D screen, start 'Desktop Effects' will see compiz is not running, then re-login would be 2D desktop with MetaCity running. If start 'Desktop Effects' and click on Enable Desktop Effects, screen blanks and back to 2D after half minute as it abandoned changes by time-out. ----- Part of ~/.xsession-errors: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b GTK Panel of SCIM 1.4.5 compiz: No stencil buffer. Clipping of transformed windows is not going to be correct when screen is transformed. Starting SCIM as daemon ... SCIM has been successfully launched.

BTW, FYI: In compiz.spec: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/compiz should be: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/Compiz ("C"ompiz) because the wiki website is case-sensitive.
Just updated to compiz-0.3.2-2.fc7, and it work 'better': background and windows are properly displayed, but window decorations are missing. Selecting System->Preferences->Desktop Effects and pressing 'Enable Desktop Effects' appears to disable compiz. Clicking 'Enable Desktop Effects' again enables it this time turning on window decorations. Have to repeat the above each time I login....
This is 'working for me' with compiz-0.3.4-1.fc7. Related issue was the renaming of 'gnome-window-decorator' to 'gtk-window-decorator'. Updating session startup command to this fixes...
