This now appears to be totally, utterly fixed in Ubuntu Hardy with all updates as of 2008-02-22 (xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.2.0.90-2ubuntu7) on the Intel X3100 (965), eg. my Dell Inspiron 1520.
Notably:
* Shadows look correct on windows in Compiz
* Video runs both windowed and full-screen in Compiz totally smooth without jerkiness
* No extra configuration required in xorg.conf
* Is it my imagination or is 3D just smoother and faster in general? Eg. no jerkiness/tearing on Compiz cube anymore.
* Again, is it my imagination or is text scrolling now smoother and faster in general? Eg. no jerkiness in Firefox anymore.
However a new bug has been discovered:
* No simple, obvious way to remotely buy Bruce Harrington a pint
