compiz/beryl are unusable by default with white screen

[Nicolò Chieffo]

xserver-xorg-core = 1.1.1-0ubuntu12 compiz works
xserver-xorg-core = 1.1.1-0ubuntu13 compiz (0.3.4 and 0.3.6) starts but the screen becomes white. I can only see the mouse pointer and activate the "scale" plugin, but windows and desktop are white/light grey.

I'm using "radeon". But in the forum I see that someone who as an intel card or fglrx+xgl is experiencing the same problem

[michelem (michele-marcucci)]

I confirm it too, after last Feisty upgrade I have your same problem and I have an Intel

[Wilco Baan Hofman (wilco)]

I also confirm this bug using intel graphics, see Bug #79403.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

I've tested the above hypothesis by removing 37_Fix-__glXDRIbindTexImage-for-32-bpp-on-big-endian-platforms.diff from debian/patches/series, and I've concluded that xorg-server is /not/ responsible for the above breakage, because the symptoms are identical.

[Wilco Baan Hofman (wilco)]

Daniel,

I can confirm that downgrading to ubuntu12 (on amd64) fixes the problem as well.

What, in your opinion, causes the ubuntu12 package to work and the ubuntu13 to fail then?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

The only thing that I've done is revert xserver-xorg-core to
1.1.1-0ubuntu12 and compiz returned to work.
