OK, I have proposed a new version of the fix that will work upstream without any changes to header files. So should be good to go in compiz 0.9.5 and oneiric. But I still think the first version was API-safe too :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz

Good news. The new fix has been accepted into compiz-core so should go upstream soon. And _hopefully_ will trickle down into oneiric before it's released. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu.

Yes, it would be unfortunate if this fix was not in 11.10. Very bad for user experience, and bad publicity for Unity and Ubuntu while the desktop is so painful as described in this bug. Speaking of which, Importance is still Undecided. If the fix is not in oneiric, I'll put it in my PPA. -- You

I've just had a look at potential API compatibility problems and I don't see any. Only global variables, typedefs, and one non-virtual function was added. None of these should affect binary compatibility with the existing compiz 0.9.5 code at all. Certainly, no member variables or virtual

Well, I turned the sync to blank option on compiz and corrected the refresh rate and the desktop is now usable. It was fast using Ubuntu on Virtualbox on Windows! Anyway, what I saw with glxgears is this: a constant framerate of 60fps! I don't know if this is a coincidence, but it appears to me

Sorry to hear NVIDIA users are not benefiting. But I'm confident that fglrx and some intel users will get joy from the fix. Because I've tested those :) P.S. NVIDIA users, I think you should be looking at bug 92599. That describes the driver issue that tricks compiz into using the wrong refresh
