Comment 108 for bug 130325

I am using said patch, it does *not* solve all the problems
I'm experiencing, I have already posted to say it fixes
*one* problem

regardless of blame, uninstalling compiz solves all my issues

Who said anything about intel cards?

To reiterate the patch (actually 1 less patch in xorg)
doesn't solve *ALL* problems I'm having with
compiz with an nvidia card

Disabling or uninstalling compiz *does*

I care not whos "fault" it is or the politics
compiz+xorg+nvidia glx is NOT production ready
