Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I have the same problem using the "intel" driver instead of the "i810" driver(that is what the line in xorg.conf says.) Compiz 0.7.2 turns everything white. However, installing the compiz from Fedora 8 (where compiz worked) fixes the problem. So, something which changed between 0.6.2 and 0.7.2 which breaks compiz on the Intel GMA 965. I have had similar problems with newer versions of WINE (that is, the old version works, but a newer one does not). This leads me to suspect that the problem is not with compiz, but is with the version of the intel driver (or with mesa) which ships with Fedora. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/120834 There is mention of a bug in mesa here that was fixed upstream, and this appears to be a bug with the same root problem. For now, though, downgrading to the Fedora 8 compiz *is* a viable workaround.
I'm seeing the same problem on a radeon 7500. Worked fine in Fedora 9. It appears that DRI is broke for it in Fedora 10. I can add Virtual 1024 768 and it will work.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
