Altough I couldn't get desktop-effects to run at first (due to
_unrelated_ Bug #123712 and Bug #123712), I managed to get it to start
after:
-- manually changing xorg.conf DefaultDepth to 16 (it's a pitty
displayconfig-gtk doesn't allow to change bitdepth);
-- unloading and loading radeon module (sudo rmmod radeon && sudo modprobe
radeon);
-- using `SKIP_CHECKS compiz --replace`;
but I got the same symptoms as the original reporter.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A REGRESSION! Compiz worked flawlessly at 16bpp
in Feisty (with glxinfo -l reporting the same (1024) MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE).
My card is an ATI Radeon M7 (Radeon 7500):
