I can confirm the issue and I think I found the reason for it.
Snip of the Xorg.0.log:
-----------------------------
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)
-----------------------------
There seems to be a typo in the path to libglx.so
This is from turox' log, but mine shows the same mistake.

[B. Clausius (barcc)]

The link /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so -> libglx.so.96.43.05 is wrong.
1. cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
   ln -s libglx.so -> extensions/libglx.so.96.43.05
2. Restart
3. Aktivate compiz
4. restart X (ctrl+alt+bksp)

thx

cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
ln extensions/libglx.so.169.09 libglx.so.169.0

works fine ^^
