making compiz enabled by default with this issue *regardless* of blame would be disastrous and could seriously dent efforts to correct bug #1 it could even mean Ubuntu becoming a minor bit player of distros...
Is this *defiantly* an nvidia bug, are people really sure that there isnt a bug with the clipping patch for xorg? Can the clipping patch not be altered to take into account nvidia drivers? theres a legacy nvidia an open source nvidia an older nvidia and an nividia-glx-new driver why not an nvidia-mobile driver too :o) enabling compiz by default with this bug could kill Ubuntu. This needs sorting *well* before November October is only a few weeks away... 3vi1 wrote: > I hope nVidia gets on the ball and releases a new driver in time for > everyone to test before Gutsy final (now that it has been voted that > Compiz will be enabled by default).
