IBM Thinkpad R31 lspci shows Intel 82830 CGC rev4

This is a Release Candidate install from CD daily build 20081024 which fails to load desktop & freezes unless compiz removed by booting in recovery mode, select root shell prompt apt-get remove compiz & core.

It was updated earlier today. I didn't see compiz mentioned.

With synaptic which has Pre-released updates (intrepid-proposed) checked installed compiz version 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4
Visual Effects normal, desktop disappeared immediately. Laptop frozen.

Rebooted, compiz still installed, fails to load desktop & freezes.

Removed compiz with rescue mode boot root shell prompt. Running O.K.

I can try a new version of compiz if someone would explain how to get it, preferably with an apt-get syntax.

Thanks for looking at this bug. Jerry
