Look: software evolves, and sometimes API breaks and things like that
are necessary. While you may be unhappy about the situation, there is
indeed nothing the open community can do if the developers behind the

This was not brought up at nvnews because it was not originally a Binary
Blob issue. Whatever was changed in xorg to fix this apparently
requires a driver fix too.
At any rate, I tested my ATI box and the results were as one might
predict:
Radeon driver + Compiz: Works
FGLRX driver + Compix: Doe
Same problem. NVidia+Remote+Compiz still broken.
Odd enough, the update from a locked screen to desktop does work and
mouse pointer position updates as well.

May I point out that the last person actually stating that it had the
