Bug Description
I am using Kubuntu 10.10 AMD64, fully up-to-date. Everything works well, except for my graphics card. I have a Radeon X1250, and whenever I try to load the KWin desktop effects, things crash. Before the last kernel update, they would run for maybe 1-5 minutes before crashing, but with the latest update, X is crashing before they even initialize. Graphics acceleration is working well, and in fact things run (though slowly) using XRender.
I do not know where to begin in reporting this bug. I can confirm that I'm not the only one; see: http://
I am going to see if it is only a problem on AMD64 systems, but would like to see this fixed. I will try to wait for a few days before installing 32 bit to help troubleshoot if need be.

I booted the 32 bit live USB, and took a video so you can see the problem. As you can see, performance is actually very good when it is actually working, but the flickering is even worse in person. (The camera kind of blends some of the flickers together)
