I upgraded from 11.0 to 11.2 on my Dell Inspiron 6000 with an ATI Mobility M300 graphics card.
I get the crash handler, it says kwin has crashed multiple times, and it asks me to choose another window manager. After choosing Metacity “most” everything works fine, but there are a few anomalys that I wonder if are because kwin is not running.
Here is the available (and insufficient) backtrace.
Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Aborted
[KCrash Handler]
#6 0xffffe424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#7 0xb74f00cf in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
#8 0xb74f19e7 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6

#11 0xb6ca4b39 in ?? () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
I have searched for the debug files related to libGL so I can get more backtrace info to no avail. Any help here?
This began happening immediately after the upgrade. I have recently upgraded my ATI/Catalyst driver to 9.11 and no change.
(although, as a side note which should be another thread, I can’t run the ATI Catalyst Control Center.)
Main thing is what do I need to get further backtrace info?
I tried disabling 3D and did not help.
