Bug#451706: compiz yields a blank white screen
Package: compiz
Version: 0.5.2-2
Severity: important
On this system, running "compiz --replace" returns an empty screen, with
only the mouse pointer. The mouse seems active, does change according to
what is guessed to be under it, and applications may apparently be run.
FWIW, the pointers shown did follow the mouse pointer theme as set up in
GNOME.
The fglrx driver may very well be the trouble maker...
