well i did what you asked and tried GNOME Flashback (compiz) and the error is kind of also there. not excactly the same but very similar.
only differance seems to be that the cursor seems to match the grafic but grafics is distorted. Now after switching back to unity every thing is foo baa and i cant make it work again (SIDE WAYS SCROLLING ISSUE, is now constant even after several reboots) =( . i have tried to reset compiz to no change. i have taken some screen shots showing another strange behavior that may or may not be relevant. screen shots to follow in next few posts with description -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1417826 Title: display acting up. overlay .. ?
