Crash of Unity / Compiz : dock and panel disappear - HD5770

[Xavier Guillot]

Binary package hint: unity

Hello,

Fresh install of Ubuntu Natty 11.04 alpha2 64 bits.

First time that Unity works with opensource drivers and graphic card ATI Radeon HD5770 (with last Linux Kernel, XOrg and Mesa).

Usually goes well but often, without a particular and repetable action, Unity and / or Compiz crashes : top panel and left dock completely disappear.

Sometimes all computer gets freezed, other times like here remaining is still usable.

Bug report with Ubuntu-bug Unity joined.

For example, crash happens when I use Alt-Tab to switch between opened windows, or when I click on the Unity icon "Files and Folder" and then on one of the bookmarks :
