[SOLVED] Scrambled Desktop On Shutting Down

Postby linuxero » Oct 7th, '11, 16:00

Hi folks,

I assume that many have this problem..whenever I want to shut down my computer, a scrambled desktop appears showing stuff of what I was doing or browsing! that is pretty annoying. Has anyone any idea about how to get rid of this behaviour?

Thanks in advance,
linuxero

What graphics adapter and what driver are you using and which desktop environment?

I had this problem too, due to the fact that my graphics drivers were not able to handle Composite transparency effects.

You just have to deactivate those (from MCC > Configure display -- or something like this) or directly XFdrake.
