That's a driver specific trick that doesn't belong in compiz. Setting
__GL_YIELD manually as some people have already suggested should do the
same thing and you're of course free to patch compiz so it does this
automatically if you find that useful but a patch like that is likely
never going to be accepted upstream.
I think it's appropriate to extend the existing manager-program(s) so
they also do the system checks Beryl currently does in core. This will
keep compiz-core clean, and present users with a single tool to start
things up, without having to know what options to use.
It's a fact that the system checks in beryl, combined with the
integrated settings, makes starting it up beryl a lot easier than
compiz. However, I agree that these things shouldn't have to be in
compiz, but there's no reason not to have them in an other application
all together.
If noone else volunteers, I could probably throw this together when I
get the time. ... And I guess this falls in the
"community"/extra/whatever-it-is-called section/part/project/etc
though. I thought I heard someone mention Joel (or was it Diogo
Ferreira?) had looked at the beryl-manager recently, but dropped it?
