There's a bug affecting i815 chipsets [1] that can be worked around by adding \
"VideoRam 440320" and setting Depth to 16 in xorg.conf [2]. Apparently this \
workaround is the only thing needed to run compiz on that hardware. It would be cool \
if it could be fixed at the driver lever so that compiz works out the box without \
requiring a customized xorg.conf.

Thanks,
Vlad
