Helps a bit....

Booting with "nopat": I no longer get the the Xorg messages about
"invalid mapping type" in /var/log/messages, and glxgears runs much
faster (about 930 fps vs. about 250).

But compiz won't start:
compiz (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager selection
on screen 0 display ":0.0"
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
gtk-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a
decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the
current decoration manager.
compiz (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager selection
on screen 0 display ":0.0"
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

But it no longer "white screens".....
