I tried with a 16bit thin client on 14.04 and it worked fine, both with
the Unity and the gnome-flashback session, so marking the bug as fix
released.

Title:
  unity on llvmpipe is unusable when in 16bit mode

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in compiz source package in Quantal:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  LTSP defaults to using 16bit graphic to reduce the required bandwidth
  when running a desktop environment over the network.

  Users are used to seeing slightly wrong colors and imperfect
  gradients, but currently running unity over llvmpipe, we're getting a
  completely unusable desktop.

  I'm attaching a screenshot of a VM booting LTSP and opening a unity
  session on an X server configured to use 16bit mode.
