I'm sorry, it's the contrary:
the first screen shot is when compiz is activated, the second without compiz

I'm testing with the same hardware except my ATI GPU. I change to nvidia GPU.

There is now no problem with compiz and proprietary nvidia driver.

So I think it's the driver of ati GPU:

apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-ati
xserver-xorg-video-ati:
  Installed: 1:6.13.0-1ubuntu5

Hello,
I have the same problem. Workaround: turning off visual effects, which work just fine in other applications. I just upgraded my system (10.04) and use a ATI GPU, too (Mobility Radeon M7 / 7500).

Thank you for your answer.

Could you send the result of sudo lspci -vvnn ?

[Stefan Warnken (ubuntu-stefan-warnken)]

output of lspci -vvnn is attached.

Got the same issue with Radeon Mobility 9200.

I have exactly the same problem with a Radeon 9000 Mobility.
