Description of problem: compiz fails to render correctly. Once compiz is loaded (by fusion-icon) screen turns totally white. I had this working yesterday with the .76 kernel (and the mass update) through multiple reboots. Overnight I applied the latest RH updates, rebooted & had this failure. Rebooted several times, same symptom. Then without changing any RPMs I opted to boot the old (176) kernel. Compiz works perfectly. Back to 179 -- fails. This is with no other config changes/ rpm installs/removes I see the change history for -179 has some kms fixes. I believe these may have caused a regression in my scenario. I use "nomodeset" currently on the kernel command line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-PAE-2.6.29-0.176.rc6.git5.fc11.i686 kernel-PAE-2.6.29-0.179.rc6.git5.fc11.i686 compiz-0.7.8-14.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.11.0-1.fc11.i586 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-2.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot 176 kernel 2.enable compiz 3.works ok 4. boot 179 kernel Actual results: white screen Expected results: works fine. windows appear normal. Additional info: Have debug log (just regular syslog) and X logs -- couldn't see anything unique. I should have run compiz/fusion-icon at command line to capture the error, but forgot to do so. I can do so if required. However given the problem may be a regression in 176->179 I thought I should raise this in a timely manner.
Fixed in -197
