Bug Description
Hi,
I do what Bryce said in Bug #108527
>>This is why we so strongly encourage each person to report their issue separately.<<
Random crashes once every hour. Compiz enabled with Normal not Extra.
I've already removed all .xml files in gconf/apps and restarted to generate them new.
System: amd_64 Hardy 8.04
Packages:
#xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu
#xserver-xorg-v 1:6.8.0-1 X.Org X server -- ATI display driver
#compiz 1:0.7.4-0ubunt
uname: Linux myname 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Output from Terminal:
#compiz.real --replace; compiz

I've set the option initiate_edge back in the gconf-editor, it was looking like that [] empty and after setting back the [] disappeard, after reboot compiz was deactivated and [] was there again.
I know that X300 ist blacklisted in the usr/bin/compiz:
# blacklist based on the pci ids
# See http://

My question is, if I will be forced to buy a different graphic card, because some effects from compiz are healthy for my eyes, like zooming and transparency.
I'm not able to trace from another machine, but attache the Xorg.log.
I'd be happy to provide any information needed for resolving the issue. Thanks.

Hi,
after booting today Compiz was deactivated. I activated and had after about half an hour freeze, only the Mouse can be moved. When trying to restart X with strg+alt+back the mouse immediately freezes also, then nothing helps but strg+alt+Sysq. (This procedure takes place every freeze)
The last message in Xorg.0.log is (II) XAA: Evicting pixmaps.
