Exactly the same thing happens for me with the very latest compiz, 0.3.6-1ubuntu4 -- it also happened with -ubuntu3. This started happening with a recent update but compiz was not one of the updated packages, so I'm not sure what caused it. If I start compiz from the terminal, it doesn't run at all:
$ compiz --replace & [2] 15461 GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not available with direct rendering. GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not available with indirect rendering. Aborting! This is on an amd64 laptop with the ATI fglrx driver (which means that I'm running XGL). -- as of feb 22 update, desktop-effects when enabled keep gnome from properly loading (panel-less) fiesty amd64 https://launchpad.net/bugs/87185 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
