Bug#402545: compiz: Returning from another virtual terminal makes a black screen
Package: compiz
Version: 0.2.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I log into my Gnome session on virtual terminal 8 (Ctrl+Alt+8). It
starts metacity by default. I start compiz manually (compiz --replace).
I regularly need to switch back to the text consoles (vt1 = Ctrl+Alt+1)
or to another X session (vt7).
When I come back to the X session where compiz was started (vt8), I get
a full black screen, except for my pointer which I can still see moving
(and changing its shape depending on which area of the screen it is).
There is no way for me to leave this black screen (no Ctrl+Alt
combination works).
I use the latest NVIDIA proprietary driver (1.0-9631). I followed the
Debian howto for configuring my Xorg.conf
(http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz).
How can I get rid of this black screen? Thanks!
