Bug#509691: Playing a game with compiz enabled, freezes Debian and needs a full restart!
Package: compiz
Version: 0.7.6-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I don't have this problem with Compiz when I am not running a game and I don't have this problem when Compiz is disabled and I am playing a game. However, when I turn on Compiz and then choose to
play a game, at about 5 minutes into my gameplay, Debian freezes and am forced to reboot the computer manually. I use the ATI RADEON X600 PRO video/graphics card with the 'radeon' driver. If it
matters, I play open source games such as Nexuiz, OpenArena, etc.
Video card:
deniz@debian:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 0x3e50 [Radeon X600]
deniz@debian:~$
Video card's driver:
deniz@debian:~$ grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so
deniz@debian:~$
