meh, as soon as I submitted that last comment, I opened a gnome- terminal, typed dmesg and compiz crashed. This time all that is in dmesg is:
[ 738.880732] [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Failed to parse relocation This is with KMS, with compiz and with EXA (no xorg.conf). For my own records or anyone trying to get it to crash somewhat quickly, it seems this will do it (eventually-- I don't have a simple reproducer yet): open firefox open OO.o Writer open OO.o Draw open Gimp open gnome-terminal open a second gnome-terminal, and send a lot of text to it (like dmesg) -- [lucid] desktop runs out of video memory on ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507148 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xserver-xorg-driver-ati. _______________________________________________ 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
