Compiz randomly lockups

[serenitatis]

Binary package hint: compiz

Hi! I have problem with Compiz Fusion on my Acer Aspire One AOA150 with Linux Mint 8 Helena. Same problem experienced on Linux Mint 7 Gloria. System randomly lockup then I use Compiz Fusion effects. It’s no matter – extra or standart effects, it’s lock all system. No reaction on mouse clicks or pressing keys on keyboard. But if I press Alt+F2 or something system hot key, system starts responding and I can see all actions that I perform previously. Next freeze may repeat for minutes or I may work without any problem hours, days… Then I disable Compiz I don’t have any lockups.

I have this same problem only I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (kernel: 2.6.31-20-generic). Basically if the user is using a program such as GIMP or OpenOffice the computer will all of a sudden lock up and the user cannot do anything. The mouse will still move but nothing can be clicked on. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and Alt+F2 do not work at all. The only way the user can use the computer again is to force a hard reboot. This problem has been going on for months and I hope there will be a fix to this freezing issue.

This looks like a bug I have. When the problem occurs, have you some graphical corruption ?

[serenitatis (aleksey-k)]

No I don't have any graphical corruption. Only lockup.
