Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Hello

It's not possible to turn from desktop (X) to console (ctrl+alt+f3) and back with enabled Compiz (nvidia). When I want to go back from console to dekstop (ctrl+alt+F7) screen is black and not active. Only on way is to restore desktop, in console restart gdm.

If Compiz is disabled everything work correctly !

Pleas what could be wrong

Ubuntu 7.04, Nvidia proprietary driver from repository,

Thanks for providing that. I'm not personally sure what other information will be needed to debug this, but hopefully one of the compiz folks will turn up and have a look at it soon.

This is a bug in the nvidia driver. I don't see a fix coming any time soon. Maybe in their 100xx drivers.

Well your card (7600) is compatible with nvidia-glx-new (which is currently the newest driver publically available). You could try installing it and seeing whether there is any change (however it may simply fail to load due to other issues)...

This sounds very similar to Bug #105673 ...

Hi ... I found solution, in Compiz must be disabled sync_to_vblank !!
