Crash when pressing alt-tab

English Applications
1

Hi,

Using openSUSE 11.1 with enabled desktop effects, the GUI hangs when I

  • press alt-tab and use Application Switcher, or
  • use the Windows Picker.

Static Application Switcher works fine.

Installed packages:

Code:

adosztal-nb:~ # rpm -qa | grep compiz
compiz-0.7.8-18.3
libcompizconfig-0.7.8-2.4
compizconfig-settings-manager-0.7.8-2.4

Dmesg output at ‘pastebin post #1298593’ (http://pastebin.ca/1298593).

Almost forgot: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace helps in most cases but sometimes I
have to switch off the computer as it totally freezes.

Tell me if you need more logs/configs/etc.
Thanks.

I think I send a bugreport then. Funkolas, could you paste here the same
information as I did?

You can see the required commands for the package versions in my first
post.
For dmesg, enter “dmesg > dmesg_out.txt” to the console.
Xorg log is at: /var/log/X11/Xorg.0.log

Could be you can fix this with newer compiz packages (using X11 repo)
and clearing out your current compiz config.

See here for more info : ‘CyberOrg » Compiz on openSUSE 11.1’

Hope that helps,

Dmesg here : ‘general pastebin - cloud9ine - dmesg - post number
1333338’ (http://pastebin.ca/1333338)
Xorg.0.log here : ‘general pastebin - cloud9ine - Xorg.0.log - post

Noticed nvidia in the tags and just wanted to clarify I am on an ATI
4670 (or something like that)
