Comment 9 for bug 408293

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

The xserver crashes when enabling visual effects.

To reproduce:
1. Log into GDM
2. System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>Normal
Detecting driver dialog shows, "Unable to enable effects" dialog shows a slit second before returning to GDM login.

Note can enable visual effects by running "compiz --replace" from the command-line. X crashes when quitting compiz in this case.
