I have an old Asus M6N Laptop. it worked perfectly with BT 4. Now tried to install bt5 KDE and Gnome. It freezes when I try to open the browser, not sure it is the real cause. I use BT4 again.

Will somebody from dev team stop ignoring this BIG BUG, and maybe give some info?

Hello, I'm new to BackTrack. After a few days facing this problem, I found a way to fix it. I went into Configure Desktop Effect -> Advanced and changed Compositing type to XRender which default is OpenGL.


I don't know if it works for you, but hopefully it works well. Thank you for reading this, I hope you can play with BackTrack without any anger

Install the official drivers for your GPU and you will not get the problem with all desktop effects enabled.
For ATI users,download the official *run file and use it to generate the fglrx module and some other .deb files and install them.

I can't believe that I didn't try this. Tried so many things, and nothing. Anyway, thanks! It works fine for now.
