[Problem]
Karmic ATI graphics corruption with compiz

[Original Description]

I am seeing major graphical corruption when compiz is enabled on my T30 (ATI graphics). Some windows have no window manager decoration at all, and some windows have only window manager decoration and no contents. I will attach a photo showing an example. When compiz is disabled normality returns.

Does

    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"

help?
Comment 7 Andy Whitcroft 2009-09-15 08:49:31 UTC 
Tried explicitly enabling EXA as requested.  This leads to a hard graphics hang when I try and enable compiz, hanging with the screen completly 'blank' ie. with just the background image and cursor.  Cursor is static.  Machine is up.
Comment 8 Christopher M. Penalver 2016-02-23 01:36:19 UTC 
Considered fixed downstream.
