I also had problems with compiz. They started with 8.10 (Intrepid). I'm using the intel xorg driver.
I was able to get compiz to work again by 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and enable the use of
the framebuffer. This adds the following lines to xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection
