Unity plugin (natty ppa) crashes Compiz on Nouveau/Gallium3d from xorg-edgers

[Kazade]

Binary package hint: unity

By running compiz --replace with the Unity plugin enabled, I get the following output (before Compiz crashes and I'm left without a WM):

Initializing unityshell options...done
compiz: nv50_pc_emit.c:863: emit_flop: Assertion `STYPE(i, 0) == 0x09' failed.
Aborted

Compiz works fine without Unity enabled.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

does it work with the proprietary driver?

[Kazade (kazade)]

The proprietary driver works fine, only nouveau doesn't work.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

the regression is indeed in nouveau/mesa since the problem now also happens in Natty after the upgrade to 7.10
