Hi, I'm now running kernel 2.6.29.3 in Kubuntu Jaunty and the problem is definitely gone.
To try it, just download and install (with dpkg -i) the following packages: linux-headers-2.6.29-*_all.deb, linux-headers-2.6.29-*_i386.deb and linux-image-2.6.29-*_i386.deb from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.3/ Don't forget to re-enable compositing by changing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection I've tried most KDE desktop effects and they perform beautifully. Video is very smooth with no flickering nor glitches. My card is an ATI X1600PRO (RV530). -- [RV250][JAUNTY] X Freezes with Radeon driver EXA/XAA Composite https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
