Bug#513602: ABI Change
After updating to the unstable 901-3 versions of xserver-xorg-core and xserver-common, the experimental 2.4.11+git+20090519+f355ad8 versions of libdrm2 and libdrm-intel1, and the 2.7.99.901-3 version of xserver-xorg-video-intel from http://people.debian.org/~bgoglin/rebuilds/Xserver1.6-ABIbreak/intel/ and bug 534737, I no longer get a white screen when running 'compiz --replace', and although I hadn't checked after every package upgrade, I don't think it was working with the 2.7.99.901-2 version. Until I have time to go back to the earlier 901-2 versions and verify, I have concluded that the 0.8 compiz versions probably depend on the ABI change in the intel driver. If necessary, I can include an xorg.conf or Xorg.0.log file for comparison.
