logoff Xorg problem

[Dario Lesca]

Hi, I have install F7 on my Notebook yesterday, this HP NoteBook:
> http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=c020ea57-537e-43e0-b458-805ed2b982a...

When I close my GDM session (logoff) the monitor is blocked and If I
press the CTRL+ALT+BS or F1 none happened.
I must login via SSH from another PC and kill Xorg process to come back
to login screen.

If I logon with root, this problem do not happened, when I logout the X
session is close without problem.

Then system is up to date.

To my user I have enable the Desktop effect, for user root no, the
problem happened also if I disable desktop effect.
If i work without desktop effect (compiz) the problem not happened and
logout work great.

Is a compiz problem? is possible resolve it?
Is this a know problem?
there is a solutions?

Many thanks to all.

It sounds like a compiz problem to me. The information should be 
captured in /var/log/message or in the Xorg.0.log.

Dario,

Ditto for FC6, beryl and the latest nvidia closed source driver.  Using 
metacity as the WM mitigates the problem.  I also believe that one of 
the older nvidia drivers did not have the problem.  I just stopped 
logging off :-)

Thanks Bob!
Now I have resolve the problem:

sudo yum remove compiz
sudo yum install beryl

Now I can logout without problem and poweroff my NB via power button.

Thanks.

A little premature,  I was able to logoff successfully once, but not a 
second time.
