I have had the chance now to test a bit more and I am certain that desktop effects is NOT part of this problem, despite my initial report, and hence the title. The screen corruption and X freeze occurs with my current system both with and without desktop effects enabled. The single change that definitely gives rise to the problem is to add UXA acceleration to my xorg.conf file. I think perhaps the title of this bug should be changed to remove the words ... when using desktop effects ... The rest of the title is, I believe, accurate. Also, maybe the compiz tag should be changed to UXA?
