This is a known bug, but it requires significant changes in the underlying 
rendering stack to fix it. It's not a per driver thing, direct rendering stack 
currently doesn't work with composite.  I think compiz will unredirect 
fullscreen OpenGL windows, so fullscreen games and the like should work.

Things are slowly starting to fall into place to allow us to fix this problem, 
but for now, the fix is to either go back to a non-composited desktop, or live 
with the rendering artifatcs.
