Bug#507564: [compiz] Compiz cause the whole computer to hang
Package: compiz
Version: 0.7.6-7
Severity: grave
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Dear Debian developpers,
This is very odd and occurs since nearly two mouth. Sometime compiz crash the whole computer just after being launch. It occurs always at the start of an
effect like scale, moving a windows, rotating the cube... By Crash the whole computeur I mean that even ctrl + alt + Fkey or ctrl+ alt + backspace don't work
anymore even after a long time waiting. The display just halt in his last position. Nothing respond anymore > only hard reboot can solve it.
The funny thing about it is that I can use compiz for ages without a problem (as I'm using hibernation I use to have quite long sessions.)
But when I launch compiz (after reboot for example) it hangs nearly 1 or 2 times for 3 launch.
I'm using the intel drivers in xorg. Since this is very slow with EXA (I've got an Intel 945GM card), I'm using the XAA drivers of intel (see xorg.conf below) but it also occurs with EXA.
I just don't know what for log can help you on this and how to get them. So when you need something more, please ask ;)
Regards,
Jean-Louis Biasini
