--- Comment #105 from Geoff Norton
Case 2 (proposed): Compiz works but slower (and it's an optional feature anyway, both for installation and then for activation, and doesn't work on all hardware anyway), and video playback works. Maybe document this in the release notes, similar to what was done in OpenSUSE 10.3 with Intel ipw/iwl wireless.
What you're suggesting is that the performance of an eye candy feature (but apparently not the function of it) takes precedence over the actual functioning of a very basic capability, playing back any motion video, right? I think that's...strange. And most Compiz users aren't going to be happy watching blue boxes instead of videos either, so it isn't just about Compiz.
EXA does not degrade performance just when compiz was running.
