Apparently it's agreed by all of us that this bug is manifest using nvidia (and ATI, and virtualbox, ?others?) drivers. But the 'trigger' is a change in one of the packages added to Jaunty. Fixing the offending package will restore functionality.
I installed Compiz 0.7.8 (intrepid's package) and dependencies manually last night with no change in [lack of] functionality. (Can someone else install an earlier version of Compiz in Jaunty to back me up? ) In the meantime, disable Compiz (visual effects) and use Metacity Compositing if you 'need' a compositing manager; or use the vino workaround from Jonh Wendell if you can spare the bandwidth. Both options will allow us to keep full resolution and use VNC, but we've still lost functionality. Xorg devs..... we're anxious to see what you find. :) -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
