Hi! Good news for me and all nvidia + compiz fan!! I have just upgraded my gentoo box to xorg 7.4 + nvidia 177.80 and compiz-fusion 0.7.8 and everyting is working like a charm! Using kde3.5.9 or gnome everyting is fast and stable. The command nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1 seem to help the resizing effect. I have also tried kde4.1 with compiz and apart a little slowness moving around some plasmoid (like the Desktop plasmoid) I have seen many improvements.
So for me the subject of this thread is closed. To reply to Roy, I have no problem compiling mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725, for util-linux or encfs no ~x86 sorry.
