Compiz Killed My Video Card
linuxjournal.com — Enabling Compiz on both ATi and nVidia gave a blank screen. So, I figured I needed to try the Windows solution: reboot. I shut the system down, unplugged it for a few seconds just to be sure and booted. And... still a blank screen, and I mean blank, no BIOS screen, no nothing.

I mean, post in a forum?- Cenobite, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2But, but... Writing a pointless blog article with a misleading, sensationalist headline in order to get Dugg is so much more fun!

To make the fount page, of course.

- RoboDonut, on 10/08/2008, -0/+5That was the most pointless article I've ever read.
"First I tried Compiz on an ATI card, but that didn't work, so I tried it on an Nvidia card, but then my Nvidia card stopped working, but now it's working again."
Software usually cannot damage hardware, with the exception of Intel NICs. - SuperWinner, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6FUD
