I'm in that boat right now.  The nvidia 3D chipset in my Dell Latitude
D800 doesn't work with compiz.  It should, and is listed as being
supported, but it doesn't - all I get is a massively slowed down desktop
as soon as compiz is enabled.

A nvidia tech guy actually asked for info and I gave him everything he
asked for, and then he stopped responding.  I guess that means "screw
you".

What sucks more is that the D800 is basically busted, while an even
older Toshiba Satellite (P3 800), with a GeForce2 Go, works beautifully
with compiz.  Go figure.

Regards,

Ranbir
