[Bug 655832] [NEW] X server 1.9.0 crashes reproducibly when a lot of gnome-terminal windows are opened on GeForce 8800 GTS/nvidia drivers/compiz with `normal' visual effects

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I am using the Ubuntu 10.10 Release candidate with the provided native
Nvidia drivers (and Compiz with `normal' visual effects) and can
reproducibly crash the X server by:
1) Opening gnome-terminal
2) Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+N to spawn more windows

At some point in time, the display becomes corrupted and the X server crashes.
Please find attached the output from nvidia-bug-report.sh as well
