Hello,

Managed to get back nouveau. Had some apt issues because I installed the previous version of the compiz packs. I can't tell you how well windows moving was with version 0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.2 but with the latest version it dragging windows seems smooth. I do get a bit of tearing when moving windows around. It shows mostly on vertical moves.

With the nvidia driver, this new version of compiz manages to shave off about 10 fps (compared to the old version) in games I run with Crossover (wine).
