Hi, tried the latest patch (id=21387), and here's what I've observed so far:

+ I cannot reproduce mouse cursor corruption problem (cursor changes also take longer before they are visible, like a 2 second lag)
+ Solves this bug as well: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18398

- Compiz is noticably slower, and animations tend to be more jerky (for instance when switching desktop)

All testing so far done with only "AccelMethod" "EXA" in xorg.conf.
