hello, thanks for the answer. I can use the classic desktop. it's when I try to get a text console (with alt+Fx) that everything goes blank (with random colors and lines too), and turning on compositing or unity fails. my desktop also doesn't refresh correctly, and ends up with a lot of "pieces" of windows that I recently closed. this happens both on metacity and openbox/enlightenment. if I set my desktop to a single solid color, it crashes the screen and i have to force reboot
before the update, I had compiz running perfectly, after the update, no compiz, no unity, and no TTYs. maybe something changed in the support for my graphics card (ati mobility radeon 9600), since it seems to affect all these things at the same time -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785986 Title: no ttys (alt-f1...), can't logout, no compositing, no unity, can't shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/785986/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
