Thanks. I was following Bug#146298 but not Bug#359392. Somehow I missed the rollback on the 4096 patch.

I just want to throw in my data points on intel G45 (Asus P5Q-EM) hardware, dual monitors 1920x1200 & 1024x768

1. Intrepid with home-built mesa including the 4096 patch: stable for several months, EXA acceleration, compiz ok. glxgears 500-600.

2. Stock Jaunty + EXA. I've tried a couple of configurations with EXA and every time I get a "can't pin front buffer" error.

3. Stock Jaunty + UXA + NoDRI. Stable, but no compiz.

4. Stock Jaunty + UXA + Ludovico Cavedon's ppa https://edge.launchpad.net/~cavedon/+archive/ppa
Frequent and unpredictable lock-ups on X, otherwise great performance.

5. xorg-edgers ppa enabled + rebuilt DRI with MAX_TEXTURES=4096 patch.
Similar performance to #4. Awesome glxgears 1200+ but unpredictable lockups on X.

It's hard not to be frustrated when this was working so well on Intrepid, but hopefully it can be resolved soon. If I can do any testing, please let me know.

I only really like compiz for the grid plugin and the screenshot plugin. If these were available in metacity I'd be perfectly happy!
