This problem actually disappeared with Catalyst 13.6 and Catalyst 13.8 fixed all crashes while Catalyst 13.11 fixed OpenCL issues and improved performance.
** Changed in: compiz Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Description changed: - Using Radeon HD 7950 with fglrx. If I double click or attempt to drag an - icon in the launcher/dash the GUI will stop responding (but the mouse - will render just fine). If I move to a different tty session and back, - it merely shows a black screen and my mouse cursor. The only way to fix - it when this happens is to sudo restart lightdm. - - Update: It's no longer a black screen when alternating between tty - sessions, however it's unresponsive and ligthdm cannot be - killed/restarted. It's also good to note that whenever installing a - package with a launcher in Ubuntu Software Center, the GUI will freeze - up under Unity. Other DE's work fine. - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 - Package: unity 7.0.0daily13.04.10-0ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-16.26-generic 3.8.5 - Uname: Linux 3.8.0-16-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx - .tmp.unity.support.test.0: - - ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 - Architecture: amd64 - CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' - CompositorRunning: compiz - CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' - CompositorUnredirectFSW: true - Date: Tue Apr 16 04:20:24 2013 - DistUpgraded: Fresh install - DistroCodename: raring - DistroVariant: ubuntu - DkmsStatus: fglrx, 12.100~beta7, 3.8.0-16-generic, x86_64: installed - GraphicsCard: - Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Tahiti PRO [Radeon HD 7950] [1002:679a] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) - Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:254c] - InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-04-07 (8 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Alpha amd64 (20130402.1) - JockeyStatus: - kmod:fglrx - ATI Fire GL (Free, Enabled, In use) - kmod:fglrx_updates - Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) - MachineType: To be filled by O.E.M.
