Public bug reported:
After upgrading from Kubuntu lucid to maverick, I noticed that the
desktop effects did not work any more. This did not bother me too much
and I continued to work with the system anyway. After a few random
crashes (the display freezes, even the Alt+SysRq shortcuts do not work)
that I did not have before I tried to investigate the cause of my
problems. The crashes sometimes appeared a few minutes after booting,
sometimes after a few hours.
I found out that the desktop effects work again and that the crashed
disappear if I boot using lucid's 2.6.32 kernel. I have also tried
different kernel versions from the kernel-ppa (including 2.6.36 and the
current rc of 2.6.37), but so far, the latest version that works for me
is lucid's 2.6.32.
My notebook is a MAXDATA Pro 8100X with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600. I'm
using the FOSS radeon driver.
I will add the log files for kernel 2.6.32 (working) and 2.6.35 (crashes
and no desktop effects).
