Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using compiz from git, of course.

Does it work if you start compiz with --no-fbo?

--no-fbo doesn't seem to be an option:

compiz: Unknown option '--no-fbo'

There's a patch in Debian that adds the --no-fbo option. You can
get the patch here[0]. The patch is against compiz 0.5.0.

Thanks, I tried the patch. It crashed the xserver instantaneously, just like before. I'm not surprised though as I was of the impression that i915tex in fact does use fbo...

915tex is gone. would you please test on the git upstream to see if the issue still exist? if yes, please open another bug, and I'll mark this bug as wontfix. thanks!
