Browsed through the last month's worth of changes to the 7.10 branch for mesa and didn't spot an obvious fix for this issue, however there were several buffer validation patches for radeon, so it wouldn't surprise me if the bug goes away in newer mesa.
If you'd like to test it now, you could install xorg-edgers, which has a packaged snapshot of today's mesa: https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers After testing, you can use ppa-purge to restore your system to its pre- edgers state. Or if you'd prefer, we anticipate the 7.10 final release immanently and expect to have it in natty within the next couple weeks or so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691653 Title: compiz crashes when using alt-tab (the radeon driver kills it) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
