Hey Ryan,

Thanks for the additional info.  Hmm, it seems there are folks who still
use the 304 driver on newer machines.   I'm also not sure if folks are
having the refresh issue using 304 drivers on newer GPUs, so I don't
think it's a good idea to blacklist the 304 driver.

I found a list of integrated GPUs here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/mobo_gpu_tech_specs.html

If I can somehow match up the GPUs to the OpenGL renderer string in a
reliable way, then that may be the way to go.

Just need to be careful about this...

Title:
  Compiz high CPU and UI freeze on NVIDIA after fix for #269904 in
  trusty-updates

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Immediately after the fix for #269904 landed in trusty-updates via
  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 these messages on the system log:

  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).
