It is the same driver, but a newer version. Also, X.org itself changed
quite a bit. As to what change caused this regression, I have no idea
I'm afraid.

Just to clarify, this stable release update is to *disable* compiz on
those affected devices. It is a safe quickfix to unbreak machines,
until we know what the actual driver problem is.
