Ralf:
The bugs will still be there and I think if it isn't compiz-fusion triggering it then it will be something else (perhaps the KDE4 compositor). The quickest workaround is not to use AIGLX but I don't think that's what you're looking for. I do see what you're saying though (as I believe compiz-fusion has had a beryl workaround for some of the NVIDIA black screen issues added) but in that case I think you are better off filing a new bug report on compiz-fusion asking for only that (and then posting a link to the new bug here) rather than changing bugs talking about the underlying issue. What's your take on this?

I'm acutely aware of the bugs (maybe it will help if you take a look at the bugs I've commented on via my person page) but I guess my thinking is that it just means the NVIDIA and ATI need to be contacted to see if they can work out where the bug lies and if they can generate a fix (or at least talk to those who can).

The intent of my comments was to inform and have the issue resolved as quickly as possible (hence the followup userspace/system lockups explanation) but I see from your reaction that this was not the case. What should I have done (I'll keep this in mind for future comments)?
