compiz works even on that 1px.

In jaunty I was on my daily work  on 1024+1024 with compiz.
Since Karmic I use 1024+1280 without compiz.

The switch from compiz to metacity on changed resolution is without
problems (gnome always starts with black screen 2048, I have keyboard
shortcut to 1024+1280 - xrandr).

Kwin nearly always crashes the whole xserver on this resolution change.
Sometimes (20%) it's succesfull in survival after compositing is auto
turned off.


The maximum size of a 3D texture on i915/i945 is 2048x2048px.
Since compiz is one big texture, it is supposed to work on that resolution.

(Somewhere I red, that compiz developers plan to make compiz
multitextured. I that case also older HW would manage big resolutions.
Don't ask me how. I just red it on some compiz blog.)
