Actually, @professordes is on to something: I took note because he is using the 
same hardware as I am (Thinkpad X31 with Radeon Mobility M6 - the hardware with 
which I originally reported this bug). I was getting the error described my 
comment #14 above ( 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/144077/comments/14
 ):
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this 
isn't going to work.

With:
Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.

But checking again today, it appears that there is a further regression,
as I'm erroring out at the same place as @professordes, even before the
check for GLXFBConfig:

No nvidia hardware available
Checking for Xgl: not present. 
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 1002:4c59 (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. 
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. 
Checking for non power of two support: present. 
Checking for Composite extension: present. 
Comparing resolution (1024x768) to maximum 3D texture size (512): Failed.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity 

So while I agree with @Sergio Zanchetta that this is certainly a
different error, it is worthwhile to note that in order (for at least
some people) to test a fix for this bug, that regression must be solved.
Have others who have been experiencing this bug (GLXFBConfig) now
erroring out at the max 3D texture size check, or is this specific to
our hardware? Further discussion can be continued in bug #124519.

Cheers,

-Gabriel
