Please do let us know about any issues you come across. (If you can work around them, you can report them...) Even just a ping saying "Someone told me KWin was broken on <platform/version>" is helpful. We have the hardware and can always try to reproduce the problem, even if you aren't

At least the visual corruption with compositing that is described in these reports matches this bug very well:

<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35452>

The bug is in the DRI2 implementation of the x-server and should affect any compositor when kms page flipping is enabled. x-servers 1.8, 1.9, (afaik) 1.10 x-server's would be affected. If you follow this thread <http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-March/ 020716.html> it points to a proposed patch by Michel Daenzer, and a refined version by Keith Packard. I don't know if a version has landed in master already, but testing it would help to get it there and maybe to get it merged to 1.9 and 1.10.
