I haven't verified this yet, but it looks from the XOrg log like these
systems are booting into dual head (with the SVideo out on head 2),
2128x800 total.  That width over 2048 is probably what's causing the
problem.  I did "lose the mouse" on one, and suspected a "phantom head."
I went to System Settings -> Display, it didn't show a second head but
the whole desktop flickered (I suspect it turned the superfluos head off
then.)  I suspect it stored this in .config/monitors.xml, I'll check
tomorrow if it'll now log into compiz, and if it's got some hotkey that
may toggle that on and off.

I guess if that works out, then there's no real X bug; perhaps compiz
should fall back to llvmpipe if it sees an an otherwise-working opengl
implementation, but asks for a large texture and has it fail.

Kudos to the compiz, Xorg, and llvmpipe developers btw... the CPU and
RAM use were already decent in 14.04 but much lower now, and llvmpipe's
actually reasonably fast too.
