[Bug 326104] Re: [iG45] [Jaunty alpha3]Compiz issue: change to higher resolution cause distorted screen

[Aaron Roydhouse]

There are similar bug reports like this one for 8.04, and 8.10, e.g.
#249790.

The common thread appears to be compiz on an Intel card (so presumably
Intel X server). It could affect other combinations but the reports I've
seen have all been on Intel cards.

If *increasing* the resolution, compiz doesn't notice it, doesn't adjust
or redraw the screen. Workaround is to restart compiz after the change
('compiz --replace'), or switch to metacity when making the change.

If *decreasing* the resolution, compiz+X frequently - but not always -
crashes and logs you out. The workaround is to switch to metacity while
reducing the resolution, then switch back to compiz.

Aaron.
