[Bug 408293] [NEW] Xserver crashes enabling visual effects

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

The xserver crashes when enabling visual effects.

To reproduce:
1. Log into GDM
2. System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>Normal
Detecting driver dialog shows, "Unable to enable effects" dialog shows a slit second before returning to GDM login.

Note can enable visual effects by running "compiz --replace" from the
command-line.  X crashes when quitting compiz in this case.
