[Daniel Daher <daher95@xxxxxxxxx>]

We had this same problem on ~100 PCs, all these computers had Ati Radeon
X1200 graphic card and stopped working (Compiz Crash) on mid/later 2018.

To solve this issue we had to downgrade four mesa packages to a prior
version:

libegl1-mesa:amd64
libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64
libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64
mesa-vdpau-drivers:amd64

>From version "18.0.5-0ubuntu0" to version "11.2.0-1ubuntu2".

In order to to this downgrade we did it this way (in case someone is
interested on the how to):

apt-get install libegl1-mesa=11.2.0-1ubuntu2 libgl1-mesa-
dri=11.2.0-1ubuntu2 libwayland-egl1-mesa=11.2.0-1ubuntu2 mesa-vdpau-
drivers=11.2.0-1ubuntu2 -y --allow-downgrades

And we had them "hold" so the packages won't be updated on the future
unless we do it manually:

    apt-mark hold libegl1-mesa
    apt-mark hold libgl1-mesa-dri
    apt-mark hold libwayland-egl1-mesa
    apt-mark hold mesa-vdpau-drivers

We are interested on an official release that repair this issue, if we
can help debug this problem feel free to contact me.
