Public bug reported: I have a HP DV6 6121tx laptop, with Intel Core i7 sandybridge and a discrete GPU (Ati 6770m) and an Intel GPU.
Whenever I login to Kubutu with desktop effects enabled, X crashes at the KDE splash screen and drops back to the login screen (kdm). Any subsequent logins work since KDE automatically disabled desktop effects after a crash. However, if I login with effects disabled and enable then _after_ logging in then everything works fine until I logout. I've also tested compiz, and it works without any problems. All packages are of latest version.
