Hi, is anybody using Fedora having issue with compiz crashing while plugging in external monitor? This issue has happen to me on Fedora 12, 13 and now on 14.
I would like to help and track down this bug. I have collected some abrt logs but having more people with same issue always help to track down issue faster.
Laptops I'm using have intel video chips, so please share what video card you are using.
Cheers, Valent.

I've been using compiz/emerald on top of KDE since F9, and it never ever crashed when plugging an external monitor. I don't do it very often (typically I connect the monitor while the system is off or in standby), but I do remember doing it on several occasions. KDE (or something else in the system) correctly recognizes the external monitor, and pops up a window to configure it. Meanwhile, compiz is completely happy.
# lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) # uname -r 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64
HTH, :-) Marko

After further testing it looks like compiz crashes only when both monitors are active, if you configure xrandr to enable only external monitor and to disable laptop screen then compiz works without problems.
I'm not X.org or Intel driver expert by far, but this feels more like an intel driver issue than compiz bug.
Do you have any suggestion what I can do to help troubleshoot this issue further?
Cheers, Valent.
