Got the latest version of the intel driver this morning through synaptic
updates. Apparently compiz now "works" without setting the indirect
rendering option, i.e. I can see the windows on my desktop at long last.
I have not done much testing beyond that apart from moving a few windows
around and o
That last remaining issue of disappeared desktop bars was solved after I
set the 'show desktop' option from the compiz settings manager dialogue.
Problem solved as far as I'm concerned, although users of the native

I'm also having a similar issue, although only my home area is
encrypted (no encrypted swap or tmp). Last week I have been able to

to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting, I could not be running
with kernel mode settings because I'd need to be running a 2.6.30-2
kernel or newer. I'm running under the regular jaunty kernel, i.e.
2.6.28-1
No, compiz did not work either with the jaunty (i.e. 2.6) version of the
driver. It's just that my reasons for upgrading were not related to compiz. I
seem to remember that glxgears wasn't showing anything (black window not
showing the rotating gears) with the old driver, so it looks like SOME
