Update: since I have a new monitor I attach the new Xorg.0.log, crashes remain. (The xorg.conf didn't change after installing the new monitor, everything was automatically recognized without any problems, great work btw.)
But according to the testing script from here http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check Compiz should work fine, this is of course confusing. #chmod +x compiz-check #./compiz-check Gathering information about your system...
