It is in my experience and that of many others... With XAA you're basically disabling 2D acceleration with compiz, also you'll likely run into trouble using XVideo. If EXA doesn't work well, it's most likely due to its offscreen memory area being too small, possibly due to suboptimal configuration. Anyway, if XAA works for you... -- Earthling Michel Dänzer |http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Relevant section of xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI RADEON 9600XT" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "EnablePageFlip""true" Option "DRI" "on" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" EndSection Thanks for the suggestion, though.

If somebody can find out why compiz is segfaulting while running dlclose() on the glib plugin, or explain where the dep on libcompizconfig comes from, I'm more than happy to upload a fix. Not so much just adding a dependency without understanding why. It's too late for lenny r0, but could still happen for r1... (also I'm not sure why it's unloading the plugin in the first place) Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Package: compiz Version: 0.7.6-7 I'm also affected by this bug. Installing compizconfig-settings-manager fixed the segfault. si...@beutelteufel:~$ compiz --replace Checking for Xgl: not present.

If not, you should consider to raise the severity of this bug to critical and try to fix it for lenny. It seems to affect a lot of systems and it's not what I expect from a package in a stable release. I'm aware that compiz has many other unresolved problems, but the dependencies should be correct.
