I've just upgraded to the xorg in the intel-gfx-testing ppa, and the problem still persists - ie compiz really garbles most of the screen, and even with it turned off fonts start degrading over time eventually becoming black squares. I find this works best when setting gnome font rendering to Monochrome as in the attached screenshot (System>Preferences>Appearance).
I've also attached my Xorg log file just for reference. Thanks for this.

Status in Mactel Support: New Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel Hardware: ~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name MacBook4,1 Linux: Ubuntu 8.10 RC A dualhead configuration with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu10 does not work. I have tested it with "gnome-display-properties", from gnome 2.24. I used three different xorg.conf, but none of them lead to a real split screen configuration: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) The default xorg.conf after installation: [CODE] Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection [\CODE] If the external monitor is not plugged in, the default conf will set the resolution to the native value "1280x800". If the external monitor is plugged in, it will set the resolution to "1023x768" for both monitors and clone the screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.) The configuration from the gnome-display-properties tool: [CODE] Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" SubSection "Display" Virtual 2048 768 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection [\CODE] This works very buggy. The monitors have different resolution, but its not possible to drag the mouse from one monitor to the other. Also, the second monitor never gets a refresh, so all output stays forever on the screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.) I tried to write my own configuration: [\CODE] Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device1" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor1" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen1" Monitor "Configured Monitor1" Device "Configured Video Device1" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device2" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor2" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen2" Monitor "Configured Monitor2" Device "Configured Video Device2" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" # singlehead #screen "Default Screen1" # dualhead screen 0 "Default Screen1" 0 0 screen 1 "Default Screen2" rightof "Default Screen1" #Option "Xinerama" "On" Option "Clone" "Off" EndSection [\CODE] It didn't work with "screen 0" and "screen 1". It could only clone the displays.
