wild.ideas: "That being the case, perhaps someone ought to prove it out
by installing the Nvidia drivers from the 8.04 era into a fresh install
of 9.10 and demonstrating that binary nvidia + compiz + xdamage enabled
= no problem.

Or has this been done already?"

That cannot be done since those drivers do not support the current
kernel / xserver. One reason drivers get updated is exactely to provide
support for these newer software pieces. Has anyone ever managed to get
a statement from a nvidia employee at nvnews concerning this issue?
