Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

When booting into Ubuntu Classic after upgrade to Natty, the computer freezes after a random time interval. I can see the mousepointer changing on context, but I can not interract with the graphical interface in any way. I've tried reinstalling ati-fglrx drivers and updating to newest version, but this has so far had no effect.
I have so far not experienced this bug running Unity, but I have not been running Unity for long periods of time.

what happens if you log into Ubuntu Classic (no effects)? If it works then go to CompizConfig Settings manager and turn off open gl and all of the things dependent on it, log out, and log back in into Ubuntu Classic. If this works then you have the same problem as me. It should work like this, but then you don't get any fancy effects.

I can run under Ubuntu Classic with no effects, but the display bugs out all of the time, leaving black squares and strange artifacts all over the desktop when shifting between desktops or moving application-windows around.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on the current 11.10 release. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Please keep in mind that the development version (12.04) is not suitable for daily use - please only use it for testing purposes.

Thank you for your help and patience.
