(Get the code!)
jerrylamos, why do you keep insisting that this is a compiz issue when all evidence points to the intel driver. It is silly to start dropping words like "codepath" that you don't understand to argue your point. It is not that compiz uses "codepaths" that don't work, it is that compiz uses driver paths that are not working properly. The driver paths are the problem.
It is the responsibility of the driver to make the paths to the hardware properly available. The fact that these paths are not working is a problem in the driver not compiz. There are other software applications that use these paths, although not very many at this point. For example the Avant Window Navigator developers are undergoing a rewrite to see if they can start using them. These paths make it possible to achieve accelerated graphics without the overhead of cpu use by accessing the video cards hardware directly.
Now enough with the talk about compiz being at fault.
