I started seeing this issue in 11.2 a few days before upgrading to 11.4, 
and it still persists in 11.4.

System is an HP Pavilion Slimline with an ATI GeForce 6150 LE video 
controller that uses shared memory.  No setting in the BIOS for the 
amount of memory to share, though.

Running GNOME2 with Compiz, I can start 3-4 windows (depending on what's 
in them, if I open multiple GNOME terminals I can get 5 open before the 
problem occurs) and then the windows start coming up with no contents.

The contents are there (for example, if I open a term and tell it to echo 
the bell, I hear the bell), but it seems the texture mapping is failing.

Sometimes this happens taking a window from windowed to full-screen.

If I disable compiz, I don't see the problem, so it seems to be related 
to the way compiz maps stuff to the windows.  I'd prefer to continue 
using compiz, though, as I use the enhanced zoom plugin on occasions 
where I've left my glasses in another part of the house.

I applied the recent updates to the xorg server, and that doesn't seem to 
have changed anything.  Prior to the final updates on 11.2, I didn't see 
this problem at all, and I had hoped it would clear up when I moved to 
11.4, unfortunately, it didn't.

Thanks for any tips/pointers/advice.

Jim
