This was not brought up at nvnews because it was not originally a Binary Blob issue. Whatever was changed in xorg to fix this apparently requires a driver fix too.

At any rate, I tested my ATI box and the results were as one might predict:

Radeon driver + Compiz: Works
FGLRX driver + Compix: Does not work

I guess at this point I'll unsubscribe from this thread as any hope at getting this fixed has now been lost, since it's going to be categorized into that blackhole of "binary driver" issues. I hope whatever changes xorg made to fix the original bug are somehow directly made known to all driver vendors.
