It's not compiz. It's the nvidia-driver that is messing up. It just shows because of compiz actually uses lots of those functions.
Please read all the comments above about the cause. In other words: - the closed-sourced driver is to blame (this is where the bugs are) - the closed-sourced driver is not installed by default - there will likely be a xserver patch that solves the major problems (by using a workaround) More specically .. there are two unrelated issues: issue 1: nvidia does not support more than one xserver session per gpu (this makes switching users break) issue 2: nvidia's driver and our xserver abi's are out of sync Issue 2 is not related to compiz. It will likely be solved by a workaround in the xserver (note that it requires no change in compiz). These sort of issues are common with closed-source drivers. Issue 1 is not related to compiz, but related to nvidia's lack to support (or care about) running more than one xserver on your computer. These sort of issues are common with closed-source drivers. We can't fit it and they don't care. They said: "that's not a supported configuration" In other words: this does not concerns bugs in Compiz -- [nvidia-glx] 3D GL apps crash X when using compiz due to unmaked ABI change (gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130325 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
