Comment 3 for bug 475145

since ubuntu 9.10,
tryed a an unbuntu 9.10 upgrade
and with a fresh total installation, X11 server troubles are same.
Pb is: when i log in, desktop is all black.
only accessible are 2 lines of dashboard (tableau de bord in french) that shows generics usual commands (applications, shorts cut ...) and windows already open .

all my back ground for this document is black without any icone or background prefered picture i try to set.

bypass: ......
BUT, if i turn choice of visual appearence prefered choice visual from (default) normal to : no effect,
background is restaured (i see a marvalous oranged color background with my icones).

I would like to use visual effect enhancement as other. If my video pci card could do.
