I was checking my last updates and I found recent changes in packages libdrm-intel1 and xserver-xorg-video-intel.

I also tried Compiz under kernel 2.6.31-12 with same results...

This is the appearance of windows when Compiz is selected (no window frames and effects...)

[Fabio De Santi (fsanti)]

Solved. It was a problem with package libgl1-mesa-swx11. Removing it, the OpenGL rendered went back to the Mesa DRI for 965GM card....

Running glxinfo | grep render was returning "OpenGL renderer string: Mesa X11" and removing the libgl1-mesa-swx11 package the same command returns "OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3" and everything works fine now.

We now check for this in the version of compiz in lucid.
