Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter Andy Whitcroft: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/429251 [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?
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.
Considered fixed downstream.
