It works for me either way, no segfaults whatsoever.
I've noticed compiz got updated several times, but my card keeps failing the texture size check.
I also have an old Compaq Evo N600c laptop with a 16 MB Radeon Mobility that USED to work with 3d effects (it wasn't very fast, but didn't break) and now has the same problem. Patching /usr/bin/compiz or setting SKIP_CHECKS to true fixes it, but curiously, unless I configure gwd to use it's own theme instead of metacity's I sometimes get white borders around windows... It never happens on my 64MB Radeon though.
