[Gutsy tribe 3 x86_64] Enable or disable "desktop effects" make the system do not response (santa rosa)

[Xiaoyang Yu]

Binary package hint: xorg

On Santa Rosa platform, using Gutsy Tribe 3 x86_64 version.

When click the button to enable "Desktop Effects" with "Extra effects" box checked, the system will stop to response. After a hard reboot, the desktop effects is enabled.

Disable the desktop effects will also cause the system stop to response.

I have exactly same problem. By default, in the desktop effects -dialog (system - settings - appearance) setting "Normal effects" was selected. When I chose "extra effects", system stopped to response. Anyhow I was able to move cursor, but eg. ctrl+backspace or ctrl+alt+f1 didn't work. After hard reboot "extra effects" was selected.

Now if I try to choose "Normal effects" or "No effects", system freezes (but I can again move cursor). After hard reboot "Extra effects" is still selected.

System: Gutsy Tribe 3 x86_64
Machine: Thinkpad T60

There seems to be nothing interesting in xorg.0.log

Ops, actually "Extra effects" is selected and I choose "No effects", after hard reboot "No effects" is selected. But if I choose "Normal effects", "Extra effects" is still selected after reboot.

I can confirm this too. ctrl-alt-bckspc now works though. Kill GDM and restart.

[Heikki Mäntysaari (heikki-mantysaari)]

Seems to be fixed now. Or can anybody reproduce this anymore?

[Xiaoyang Yu (xiaoyang-yu)]

Yes it is fixed in Tribe5.

[Xiaoyang Yu (xiaoyang-yu)]

We can't enable visual effect now in Hardy Alpha 1. So we can not see whether this bug is still exist or not.

[Rolla Selbak (rolla-n-selbak)]

Xiaoyang, I suggest we close this bug as it was fixed previously in Tribe 5. Then, we should open a new bug if we indeed find this bug in Hardy. Also don't forget to cc the canonical-qa and the intel-hardware-certification groups for better visibility.

[Rolla Selbak (rolla-n-selbak)]

I just confirmed that this particular bug does not exist anymore with Hardy Alpha2 on Thinkpad T61 (965GM).
