This bug was about using compiz AT the maximum size - 2048 width, NOT ABOVE.
At the maximum size of texture (for example 2048x768) the screen was black (blank).

Compiz should drop at >2048, and all the time it did.

I have the feeling you just want to close this bug, without fixing...

I'll bet my shorts, that the same situation will happen at 4096 (i965) or 8192 (newer cards).
