Couple of compiz problems since Xorg 7.4

Yeah, it's another xorg thread...

But xorg itself is not the problem here. Since I updated I have the following problems:

- Wallpaper plugin breaks randomly (All 4 walls disappear and it's all black instead)
- Redrawing is bugged after resume from s2ram (Clicking/typing in opened windows don't show, have to minimize/restore window to make redrawing work again)
- Performance dropped a little

Does anyone else have these problems (especially wallpaper & redrawing ones, as I know of other with performace issues) ? Any solutions?

GMA945 btw, here some lines of my xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
    Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"
    Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "intel"
    VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName   "Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

I have a similar problem and it probbably has to do with intel cards.

Run glxgears and if it gives you an error about TTM then you have the problem.

From what I understand of it, you can either downgrade, or wait until the 2.6.28 kernel to come out.

Re: Couple of compiz problems since Xorg 7.4

huh oddly enough I do not have any of the problems described in that thread. I don't get that error message and apart from the slight loss of performance, everything seems okay. Only thing are these two bugs in compiz fusion I'm experiencing...
