Ok, being the impatient type, I downloaded nvidia-graphics-drivers-190
and from Michael Marley's ppa and rebooted. No problems with mutter, so
I opened aterminal window, typed "compiz --replace" and was rudely thron
back to metacity with the error message "No whitelisted drivers found".
Then, in a spark of inspiration / fit of extreme annoyance, I modified
/usr/bin/compiz line 304 to return 0 instead of 1, and, again, in my
open terminal window, typed "compiz --replace" It seems to be working.
Did I just get lucky?
