Compiz = white screen?
(1) TEMPORARY WORKAROUND
A quick way to temporary solve the white screen problem, is to remove compiz.
--> To quickly get out of the white screen, don't spend time rebooting in safe mode and stuff ...
Just follow those simple steps:
--> once you have your white screen desktop loaded ...
1) move to another desktop:
by pressing: CTRL + ALT + F1
2) login
3) remove compiz:
$ sudo apt-get remove compiz
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
4) return back to your desktop
CTRL + ALT + F7
5) restart the X session:
CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE
(2) POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Running ATI? try this command:
$ aticonfig --initial -f
(3) POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Most of all is just a matter of configuration.
If you have a normal video card with 3D acceleration (even ATI :)) Compiz MUST work!
1) first of all update your system
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
(or $ yum update ... :)
2) you need to have your video driver correclty installed (look here for ATI)
3) check that X server can run correctly ($startx) (troubleshooting here)
4) start compiz (possible problems here)
5) in case you messed up with your xorg.conf, try deleting it. If startx runs, then follow the steps here, to create a new clean xorg.file. Finally start adding the needed parameters to make 3D acceleration and stuff.
