I stumbled across this bug when trying to suspend on my new Lenovo
ThinkPad T410.  Upon starting it up again, I got an upside down and
mirrored screen:

It was pretty trippy to say the least.  Anyway, this happens due to
compiz being started without the binary nvidia drivers installed at all.
The problem with this laptop is that it's got "hybrid graphics".  It
contains both of these cards:

nVidia Quadro NVS 3100M with 512MB
Intel HD Graphics 5700MHD [ Intel(R) HD Graphics (Core i5) ]

$ lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] [10de:0a6c] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Switching to tty1 and executing "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace" seems to
fix it until the next reboot.  However, I don't have "nvidia" in my
xorg.conf, and I'm running the nouveau drivers.  I'm also not sure why
compiz keeps trying to start though yet.

This issue is probably related to the hybrid graphics support bug 312756
