@manzur:

What we see in your screenshot is precisely what SHOULD happen, since the fix (or "fix") just prevents using the visual effects. Disabling Compiz visual effects enables you to use the desktop without Compiz, that's all. This has already been explained above. Quoting Martin Pitt:

"I hope that we'll get an actual fixed driver into intrepid-updates soon. Until then you need to live without desktop effects, or go back to 8.04 LTS."

So I think we shall have to be patient and try to live without the eye candy for a while if we want to stick with Intrepid. That is, until the actual driver bug gets fixed. In my opinion, it's worthwhile to stick with it.
