[Bug 298532] Re: [i965] reflection plugin freezes systems with Intel GM965

 

** Description changed:

  Enabling reflection plugin results in random freezes (about 2-3 per
  hour)
  
  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X61 with Intel GM965 graphics adapter. I have
  migrated my home from another Lenovo (T60) with fglrx adapter, and the
  dot compiz directory had the issue.
  
  After two days of looking for the cause of the random freezes,
  reproduced both in 32 & 64 bits Ubuntu, with and without wireless
  drivers as pointed out by some people, the main cause looks like related
  ONLY with this compiz plugin.
  
  Disabling this plugin solves the problem
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Be sure your driver adapter is GM965 (fglrx worked fine)
  2. apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra ccsm
  3. ccsm
  4. Enable reflection plugin (no special options)
- 5. Work as usual... after a while the system should crash (sometimes in less than 5 seconds)
+ 5. Work as usual... after a while the system should crash -- sometimes in less than 5 seconds. Some systems will freeze instantly, and will also when trying to boot into gnome or failsafe gnome,
