Compiz seems to render excellent desktop effect, but is highly broken: 1. Many windows appear only black. This can happen with even windows that were appearing normal just a while back. If you minimize and unminimize it back, it may or may not appear black!! 2. Videos can't be viewed full-screen. The video will either be fully black or crash completely or generates an error related to display. 3. Video players crash without output. I tried fixing this by changing the XV settings etc., but it is of no use at all.
Clearly, this has nothing to do with hardware and is surely only a software issue. Please fix this early. You are leaving an excellent feature with bugs in Linux. This is the greatest disservice. Microsoft will get ideas and implement it bug-free!! Compiz if implemented properly has the potential to kill Microsoft's monopoly completely. It's amazing graphic rendering and intuitive desktop can be an amazing eye- catch. In fact, it has already become a favorite with iMac users. Just don't leave it with bugs please. -- totem crashes with 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' when using compiz and xserver-xorg-video-intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
