Bug Description

Hello.

I'm running kubuntu Feisty on a dell laptop d810 latitude.

I got a Nvidia : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 110M / GeForce Go 7300 (rev a1)
Running with nvidia drivers :
ii nvidia-glx 100.14.011 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver

I've tested every kind of drivers, from nvidia-glx to nvidia-glx-new, beta drivers, nvidia.run etc...

When I launch Beryl, X got random crash, from 30 seconds, to 4 hours, it's really really random.

I can't really reproduce the situation. Sometimes it's during a mouse clic, then a virtual desktop switch, then a page down on Firefox etc...

Here is the Xorg.0.log.old :

SetClientVersion: 0 9
SetGrabKeysState - disabled
SetGrabKeysState - enabled
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1920x1200"

As Beryl is supposedly unstable, any problems you encounter with X may be from Beryl. Compiz fusion is the new and stable version of the compositing window manager. Please upgrade as Beryl is discontinued. If this bug occurs with CF then feel free to post another report about it.
