           Summary: black desktop (KDE) with compiz or kwin+desktop effects
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: emmanuel.touzery at free.fr
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


I'm using ubuntu karmic (still alpha).

xorg 7.4+3ubuntu5
the ATI driver is 6.12.99+git20090825.fc74e119-0ubuntu2

My graphics card is:
RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]

when using the driver is 2d only (normal KDE desktop) there is no problem. If I
enable desktop effects in kwin or if I start compiz then the KDE desktop
(plasma) turns black. If I logout then log back in it's still black.
A couple of times I got it not to be black and things seemed to work but 90% of
the time it doesn't work.

Both the KDE developers:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208106

And Ubuntu developers:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433173

Seem to blame the driver.
