I have used Compiz/Emerald with Edgy and Fiesty. I just installed Hardy on my new laptop. I am used to Nvidia and Dell and now I am HP and ATI. I was able to get Emerald working with the advanced desktop effects working while my laptop is not docked. When I dock my laptop and configure X for dual monitor using xinerama (or without), I get the following error when I run emerald --replace:
(emerald:9629): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
I have tried to do some research on this and haven't found any helpful information. It would seem like it is something in the xorg.conf file that I am just missing. I attached my xorg.conf to this post.
Normally I wouldn't care and just use metacity, but I get some unexpected behavior that I assume is related. Whenever I lock my system of the screen saver my screens (dual) go black and I cannot get them to respond. I tried ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+atl+back and ctrl+alt+del and nothing works. I have to power down my machine and turn it back on.
The Screensaver preview doesn't work and winecfg completely screws my display and I have to reboot.
I also searched my Xorg log and found this:
Warning: LookupDrawable()/SecurityLookupDrawable() are deprecated. Please convert your driver/module to use dixLookupDrawable().
Thanks for any help. By the way, my system is completely up to date, I have tried to reinstall emerald and have tried Envy and the ATI drivers from the ATI site.
