Compiz-Experimental PPA corruption with fglrx

[Dennis-martin-herbers]

Using Ubuntu 12.10 with the latest Compiz/Unity builds out of Sam's Compiz-Experimental Performance PPA and the AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta 11 (fglrx 9.01) driver release on an AMD Radeon HD 6870, I am getting blinking/corruption on text I enter in the terminal and general corruption when moving windows. This problem did not exist with the Unity staging PPA and a Compiz build based on #3527, which also included the window movement performance improvement. The "can't click on something in the upper left corner" bug that happens sometimes is still the same as with the Unity staging PPA.

On the positive side, all corruptions aside, the performance is absolutely fantastic. It feels buttery smooth like never before.

Thanks. I've reproduced this locally and have a fix for it, but I'll push it at the same time as something else.
