If you try "compiz --replace" from the command line, what is the output?

Hi
I have the same thing but it appeared only upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10.
After running "compiz --replace" I get first line the same as above and then X windows hangs and I can not access non terminal windows and backspace+ctr+alt is needed.

Thanks for your bug report. The symptoms provided indicate this is a problem with your video drivers and is being reassigned to the xorg package. For more information on problems with visual effects and video drivers see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VisualEffects.

A new major version of the -intel driver is now available in Karmic.

This version includes a major reworking of the acceleration
architecture, which resolves a huge number of issues. We do not know
whether it resolves the issue you reported.

Would you mind testing Karmic Alpha-2 and seeing if it is still a
problem? CD ISO images are available here:

  http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/

If the issue can still be reproduced on karmic, please report here with
your findings, and attach a fresh Xorg.0.log from your test, and we will
be able to forward the bug upstream.

Otherwise, if the bug no longer exists in Karmic, let us know that as
well.

In the off chance you encounter different bugs while attempting to test
Karmic, please report those as new bug reports.

Sorry, I thought I had canceled the bug. It turned out to be a configuration mistake on my end. I somehow didn't have one of the libraries installed that I needed. I don't remember off-hand now which one it was. But everything is working fine now.
