I completely agree that mentioned issue doesn't affect every graphics card. But my job's one has this annoying problem. At home I has the desktop computer and the notebook as well. Both computers work great with compiz independently of total screen size. I guess it happens due to these comps

To tell in truth I have the same situation. I was able to use compiz and visual effects during Interpid, Jaunty and Karmic use. And after distro- upgrade I was completely surprised that compiz had not started at all with the following error message: compiz (core) - Warn: Exceeded max texture size

Actually, I had a problem with my graphics card, and had to buy a new one. This time I bought an nvdia card, and I no longer have the compaz problem. Nothing I can say except that I still think that the fix that ubuntu made was entirely the wrong thing thing to do. -- Compiz will not start

Bug 428769 is suppose to fix compiz so that it can run on a 2048x1152 monitor. People had no problem running lucid on this size monitor if they used Metacity. So you above comment, Given the choice between someone not being able to use their computer at all and someone not being able to use

The fix for bug 428769 was to make compiz stop trying to run in this situation, not to make it work correctly (that'd have to be done in the driver). -- Compiz will not start when using dual monitor (spanning) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561577 You received this bug notification because you

Thought that you would be interested to know that my setup works perfect in Kubuntu (Just installed next to GNOME). Compiz (and their compositor) started with no hitches on my dual-monitor setup. Go figure... Perhaps their guys can tell you how they solved the problem. -- Compiz will not

Ok, I see where the misunderstanding is now. Your hardware supports running compiz in this configuration, sure. Someone with an almost identical setup gets an unusable system when compiz starts. To fix his problem we also had to make it so compiz will refuse to run on your system too. -- Compiz

We've changed the check to = max texture size instead of max texture size to fix bug 428769. There is no way to allow your system to work and prevent that one from breaking since drivers apparently handle this differently. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New = Won't Fix -- Compiz

I'm a little confused. My 2048x 768 setup has worked in Ubuntu for at least the last couple of years, and worked until the Lucid - Beta 2 updates. The drivers being used now is the same driver that was used before the Beta 2 release. Please explain further. This refusal to fix makes no sense
