It seems there are two bugs recently affecting compiz. Bug #141543 relates to the error:
Comparing resolution (1024x768) to maximum 3D texture size (512): Failed.

Which is different from the messages which this bug (#144077) relates to:
Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.
Checking for nVidia: not present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
Checking for Xgl: not present.

/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Some people in have reported that they are experiencing this bug with non-ATI hardware, can someone please confirm that this is in fact the case, and it is not a mis-diagnosed case of bug #141543?

Also, could someone on QA please set a priority status for this? I believe it should be medium or high as it is a) a regression from Tribe 5, and b) a complete showstoper (as far as effects are concerned - not system wide).

Finally, could a developer (or someone else who feels more confident debugging this than myself) let us know if there is any more info we can provide that would be of use in sorting out this problem?

Thanks!
