After the latest updates, for some reason Compiz is unable to refresh the screen properly, resulting in no desktop background shown, just a blurred fade of the window that I just minimized, the splash image if I had just logged in, or the inside of the cube and the background around it if I switch to another desktop. Its not a driver issue from what I can see, as the benchmark shows that I am getting about 60 FPS. Also, the only thing I can think of to post is my xorg.conf, let me know if you want to see more:

Just FYI - I have the same issues with standalone compiz wm after updating (10.01.2010)
- ATI HD3200 graphics
- no /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Haven't had time to look at fixing it and am just using Openbox until I get around to it.
If the advice you're given in this forum solves your issue, please mark the post as [SOLVED] in consideration to others.

But first of all, try starting compiz with indirect rendering.

How do I apply the patch? Is there perhaps a version of Xserver in the AUR with that patch already applied?
By the way, it does this both with and without indirect rendering on.

OK, I'll upload the pkgbuild and patch to AUR.
