  compiz 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20150122-0ubuntu1, my 14.04 machine with an
  NVIDIA card and using the nvidia-304 driver became unusable -- symtoms
  include compiz process high CPU (100%), UI freeze right after logging in
  (machine still up, reachable via SSH from the network), and a flood of

+ [ Test Case ]
  
- I do not experience any problems if I downgrade to the previous compiz
- version that was available in trusty-updates
- (1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20141104-0ubuntu1).
+ Requires a GeForce 6150SE or similar integrated GPU from nVidia.
+ Problem manifests immediately on login.
+ 
+ [ Regression Potential ]
+ 
+ The fix involves a specific hardware blacklist.  Anticipated regressions
+ include fixed support for the specific hard in future nVidia driver
+ releases and potentially additional unidentified hardware affected by
+ this bug needing to be added to the blacklist.
+ 
+ Note that there is a manual workaround to the problem consisting of
+ disabling the X11 Sync feature through CCSM.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ This fix was cherry-picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" development
+ release where it has been in regular use for some weeks.
