Changing package to libgl1-mesa-dri due to the xorg-edgers driver upgrade mentioned before eliminating the issue. I am not positive if I should chalk it up to xserver-xorg-video-radeon instead but I get the feeling it's an OpenGL side issue since Compiz does render through that.
Compiz has now run with the edgers driver without crashes for a week or so for me (a duration unthinkable with the original raring driver), though the edgers driver does have the occasional freeze (which it recovers from), especially when a large window is being created. I am still open to trying more conservative upgrades to the original raring packages. I can also downgrade from the edgers repository and run specific tests on the original raring driver on request. (Still not sure why compiz had problems restarting after a crash though.) ** Package changed: compiz (Ubuntu) => mesa (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176327 Title: Compiz crashes on a daily basis, will not restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1176327/+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
