Description of problem: X crashes when starting compiz, when glxgears is running. I can run glxgears without any problem before or after compiz is started. I can start or restart compiz just fine if glxgears is not running. But when I first start glxgears, then start compiz while glxgears is running, X crashes and I can never get it back: with i915.modeset=0, screen is black (has backlight) but nothing is running, and I cannot switch to console; with i915.modeset=1, screen is black too (no backlight), cannot switch to console either. Luckily I can reboot with ctrl-alt-del. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.25-8.fc9.i686 xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.1-22.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-26.20080415.fc9.i386 mesa-libGL-7.1-0.28.fc9.i386 metacity-2.22.0-3.fc9.i386 compiz-0.7.2-3.fc9.i386 fusion-icon-0.1.0-0.2.5e2dc9git.fc9.noarch [yuan@mstar ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25-8.fc9.i686 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. run glxgears 2. while glxgears is running, run fusion-icon from menu 3. Actual results: X crashes Expected results: compiz start successfully Additional info: Before I start compiz, I have metacity running, composition enabled. My xorg.conf is very simple: [yuan@mstar ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "ServerFlags" # Option "AllowEmptyInput" "True" # Option "AutoAddDevices" "True" # Option "AutoEnableDevices" "True" # Option "Intel-BatchBuffer" "True" Option "DRI2" "True" EndSection
