Bug Description
Compiz crashed when I activated an external monitor using nvidia-settings. Apport did not notice the crash and there was nothing related in /var/crash. Neither dmesg nor syslog have any indication of a segfault. However there are some nasty-looking messages in syslog and .xsession-errors.
syslog:
Oct 6 11:23:24 steve-laptop gnome-session[
Oct 6 11:23:24 steve-laptop gnome-session[
Oct 6 11:23:24 steve-laptop gnome-session[
.xsession-errors:
compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event from request at 303489 (now: 661694)
compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0x12000a4!
compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you shouldprobably file a bug about this.
compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event from request at 287368 (now: 588002)
The crash happened at about 11:23AM (see related timestamps in the logs).
To reproduce:
1) Boot 11.10
2) Work for a couple hours (optional?)
3) Plug in an external monitor
4) In nvidia-settings, select the second monitor and configure it for 'Twinview'
Actual results:
Compiz crashes and then comes back to life; there is lots of flickering/flashing and artifacts onscreen for about 10sec, then compiz comes back to life and the external monitor is enabled correct.y
Expected results:
The external monitor is turned on and enabled without any flashing, crashing, or artifacts.
nvidia driver version is 280.13-0ubuntu5; graphics card is a GeForce 8600M GT in a Macbook Pro 3,1.
