X Window System Version 6.8.2 (Ubuntu 6.8.2-56 20050901063948 I have a system with nvidia quadro graphics card connected to 2 screens. I have tried to get xcomposite running on Suse 9.1, 9.3 and Ubuntu hoary and now Ubuntu breezy all with the same result. the moment I call xcompmgr all the windows vanish, on SuSe I could see the shadow of the windows but not themselves, on Ubuntu I do not even see the shadows. In SuSe the X would get unstable at times so that I could not use keyboard so I had to ssh from another pc and change the runlevel to 3 (It did not help if I killed X) and then back to 5 so that X would start again. I have not seen any documents about dual display not being supported on dual screens so I assume it is a bug.
Created attachment 3153 [details] my xorg.conf file
This is the printout from the shell where I start the xcompmgr: ~/work$ xcompmgr error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4829 error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4839 error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4849 error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4859 error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4869 error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4879 error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4889 error 9 request 157 minor 4 serial 4899
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Is this still an issue with modern deliverables?
