MSI Wind U100 netbook with Intel GMA950. Desktop effects enabled by default.
1. Install ccsm-simple
2. Run it.
3. Choose Desktop Cube instead of Wall.
4. Choose 4 desktops instead of the default 2.
5. Tick second box in Accessibility tab (in English I think it's Zoom into area)
6. Watch as xorg gets destroyed with no way coming back.
You can't login after that, it just displays the wallpaper, screen corrupts and goes back to login. After a few tries even the login screen gets corrupted. Nothing can be done.
I thought this was hardware failure, it was scary. I eventually manually edited xorg to use VESA, unticked the offending box, got all settings back to default, changed driver back to Intel, all works fine again. Phew! I wish Ubuntu didn't scare me this way!
Xorg kept dying with this as the last line:
AUDIT: Sat Oct 18 22:02:28 2008: 7403 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=0 gid=0 pid=7452 )
AUDIT: Sat Oct 18 22:02:32 2008: 7403 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1000 pid=7456 )
AUDIT: Sat Oct 18 22:02:32 2008: 7403 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1000 pid=7457 )
AUDIT: Sat Oct 18 22:02:32 2008: 7403 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1000 pid=7458 )
Will attach some logs. |
