** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop This is a metabug (like bug #1) that denotes that Ubuntu's 3d Desktop / Compiz rendering effects / Composite graphics mode etc is NOT stable on/for the majority of hardware/drivers on which Ubuntu desktop edition is run (hence reporting against the ubuntu-desktop package). Until this bug is solved, it is not relevant to talk about Ubuntu as providing 3d effects in any other matter other than a test/development version. We cannot recommend anyone that actually uses Ubuntu professionally to have them enabled. When I refer to stable I mean the following more rudimentary specs: - No X server crashes - No recurrent garbled or corrupted displays But ALSO: - No overlay/transparency rendering glitches - No weird window behaviors when maximizing/moving (top window decorations inaccessible under the top panel, no minimizing of certain windows, inability to move certain windows etc) - No flickering - No weird white or black space displaying in various parts of the desktop In short, I'd put the this bug as solved for a specific hardware/driver combination when one can expect to be able to work weeks and weeks and run 15-25 windows/applications simultaneously non-stop with at least but minimal 3d desktop effects enabled without experiencing any of the above - nuances. The same sort of usability that Mac-users take for granted. + nuisances. The same sort of usability that Mac-users take for granted. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable the basic desktop effects 2. Use your computer as usual for say around 100 hours - 3. If none of the above problems were experienced, please report this success together with the output of "lspci -vvnn", your xorg.conf-file together with any eventual special steps taken to achieve the problem free desktop effects set-up. + 3. If none of the above problems were experienced, please report this hardware/driver combination success together with the output of "lspci -vvnn", your xorg.conf-file together with any eventual special steps taken to achieve the problem free desktop effects set-up. 4. If any of the above problems occur, please report them as separate bugs in case they are not already reported - this meta-bug is only for tracking the overall usability issues. This bug is solved when we can confirm full stability with the most used graphics cards and drivers (anyone have a good list to track the bug against?) - Most used Nvidia cards and drivers - Most used Intel cards and drivers - Most used ATI cards and drivers
