The logs attached to this bug indicates an error originating in the
Nouveau video driver on startup, which has nothing to do with Compiz
(other than the video driver does not then offer required functionality
for Compiz to run) or the Intel video driver.

[     8.553] (EE) NOUVEAU(G0): Failed to initialise context object:
2D_NVC0 (0)

If the problem occurs only with certain versions of the Linux kernel,
it's likely the problem is either in the Linux kernel or in the Nouveau
video driver and not Compiz.

The original description of this problem indicates an error originating
with the Intel video driver, which has nothing to do with Compiz (other
than the video driver does not then offer required functionality for
Compiz to run).  If the problem occurs after upgrading the video driver
or kernel or only with certain versions of the kernel but not Compiz,
it's likely that the video driver or kernel is the cause of the problem
and not Compiz.

It is not clear from the logs and the description of this report it two
separate and unrelated video driver problems or kernel problems are
being combined into one bug report.  It's fairly clear it's not a
problem that can be solved by the Compiz package.
