I have rerun all of the setup programs etc. as suggested.<BR/><BR/>I have a copy of one of the older compiz packages (1.0-2) -- but reinstalling this doesn't get things working again either. I therefore think the problem is in the other package that changed (Xgl server itself -- which was rebuilt even though the version number didn't change) but I don't have a copy of the older package to verify this and it is not online. Was something changed when this was rebuilt, e.g. the built in Mesa package?dawnoreply@blogger.com
