I think this should be fixed by kde-window-manager 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu3 with the change:

* Add kubuntu_29_fallback_to_xrender_compositing.diff
fallback to XRender compositing in case of Software Rasterizer.
(backport from trunk)

Have you tried it with the more recent kde-window-manager?

The same problem after unsuccessful upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10.
KDM crashes after login.
After some rescue activity startx from console starts without problems but not from KDE.

KDE = KDM at the end of previous post. Sorry.
After password input at KDM screen changes to black, or some color ASCII symbols, or even some previous screen. It's looks like uninitialized memory at video card. After some moments it switches back to KDM login prompt.
Startx from console starts successfully now.
Further details could be provided if needed, but specific instruction would be helpful because I switch to Linux from windows only few weeks and so not familiar enough with config files placements and so on.

Alvin, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
