[Bug 462436] Re: Desktop background becomes black when desktop effects are enabled on GNOME and KDE
Ahmed Khan, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

** Description changed: I have a computer with 1 GB RAM, 200 GB hard drive and an ATI Radeon 9200 Pro video card. Desktop effects worked on previous versions of Ubuntu and also on Mandriva Linux on this computer when my video card is using the open source 'ati' driver. I downloaded and burned the Ubuntu 9.10 RC desktop livecd ISO to a CD. I booted my computer from the CD. When it got to the desktop, the desktop background was black. However, although the background was stayed black, the desktop effects were working (for eg, when I switched virtual desktops the virtual desktop switching effect worked). I changed the wallpaper but the background still remained black. When I disabled desktop effects, the background became normal and showed the proper background. I went to System>Administration and clicked the Hardware Drivers tool. The Hardware Drivers tool said that no proprietary drivers were being used. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 RC to my hard disk.

I am having this same problem on a 9200SE card. There's a whole forum topic on this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308027 Simply disabling desktop effects has "solved" my problems (I get full desktop functionality but no effects). Also, editing xorg.conf to force XAA instead of EXA mode has worked to allow desktop effects, although performance is then very slow. I can provide information for my system if need be.

What Michel Boisset said also happens on my PC. My default resolution is 1280 x 1024. I changed my resolution to 1024 x 768 and then enabled desktop effects. The black desktop problem didn't happen.
