Nope, I can safely say that is a different issue. The current issue prevents X from starting up an accelerated driver at all, and so compiz would simply not work (or perhaps only through incredibly slow swrast). So I believe you would have noticed the issue even then. > I would be glad to try any new kernel (or other changes) when I have time, but I'm not an advanced user so please explain the method(s) step by step... We need to start compiling kernels and performing a bisection using the 10.04 kernel as the last known good commit. Can you track down a guide for compiling a kernel on ubuntu and simply try replacing your current one with one from git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805700 Title: Natty&Oneiric - intel 82945G/GZ graphics card - Intel driver fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/805700/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
