compiz with x11-sync enabled hangs on GeForce 6150SE with nvidia driver

[Ryan Tandy]

I originally reported this as a follow-up to bug 269904:

On a GeForce 6150SE running the nvidia-304 driver, with x11-sync enabled, compiz hangs and prints repeatedly:

compiz (opengl) - Error: Timed out waiting for sync object.

Disabling x11-sync works around the problem and lets compiz work again.

With nouveau on the same GPU (with "nouveau.config=NvMSI=0", to avoid bug 1181902), x11-sync seems to work fine.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
