[Bug 327395] New: Desktop Effects Zoom Locks Up the Desktop
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=327395 Summary: Desktop Effects Zoom Locks Up the Desktop Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Xgl AssignedTo: dreveman@novell.com ReportedBy: crispin@novell.com QAContact: bperry@novell.com Found By: Development Most of the Desktop Effects work on my Thinkpad T60 (i910 GPU) but the Zoom function (Super + right mouse) does not zoom, and instead partially locks up the desktop. Press super + right mouse, and the mouse will still move around, but cannot select anything. You cannot get mouse focus onto anything, keyboard input does not work. Work around: use alt-ctrl-F2 or so to switch to a text console, and then back to the desktop, and then click something, and you get your desktop back. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I just tried it in Final, and the behavior has changed, but it got worse :) The work-around with alt-ctrl-f2 and such no longer works. Your desktop is just crashed hard. The kernel is still there, so you could log in on a console and do a clean shutdown.
I am unclear on what you want me to do with respect to upgrading. My suse update applet shows me fully up to date. You said ".54 is not the stable release" but I don't see a .54 in the versions I quoted (did you mean ".5.4"?) and I don't know what packages you want me to upgrade and to what versions.
Thanks.
Hi Crispin, Do the following: open konsole/terminal run the following command: sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/ "openSUSE BuildService - XGL" then run the following command: sudo zypper up -t package -r "openSUSE BuildService - XGL" Reboot (to easilly kill your x session) This will bring you from the unstable compiz version of 0.5.4 to the stable 0.6.2. What is the above doing? sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/ "openSUSE BuildService - XGL" sudo is calling root privileges zypper ar is the package management call to "add repo" http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/ is the location of the repo you are adding "openSUSE BuildService - XGL" is the Alias we are assigning the Repo created sudo zypper up -t package -r "openSUSE BuildService - XGL" sudo is calling root privileges zypper up is the package management call to "update" -t package (-t = type) this is what type of updates you want to install -r "openSUSE BuildService - XGL" we are telling zypper what repo to search via the Alias we created The zoom features have been greatly stabalized in the final version. Even the enhanced zoom works good.
