Bug#427384: compiz broken in lenny after libc6 upgrade
Hi,
2007/6/5, Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>:
Thanks for finding out that libxrandr causes the breakage. It's kind of
surprising, there are very few calls to xrandr functions in compiz. Do
you by chance see any error/warning in the terminal where you start
compiz (or in .xsession-errors)?
Not checked this time, but when a few weeks ago this occurred while
pulled in via some unstable package, I spent quite some time debugging
it. AFAIR, the was no error message at the console or
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.
Did any of you guys try with xserver-xorg-core 1.3 (currently in
unstable)? It would be good to know whether using the latest libxrandr
without latest xserver-xorg-core may cause problems.
It would really help if the nvidia-glx package would apply the 1.3 fix
:-) suggested by nvidia ...
Btw. I read this on gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg (don't know if it's
important or not)

That's correct -- the NVIDIA driver doesn't support RandR 1.2, yet
(hopefully soon...). However, the NVIDIA driver should interact properly
with the RandR 1.1 compatibility layer in place in the X server, and the
display configuration page in nvidia-settings should provide comparable
functionality to RandR 1.2.
I hope that helps,
