Well, I'm as far back as:

commit d41684d54592cf93554a4d6534e7ea74562b1798
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>
Date:   Mon Jun 7 11:18:09 2010 -0700

And I'm still seeing the glitch. This is with drm backported from
878a3c37d36142a192bdf5b6bfcf920832f431d7

If it weren't for Alexey seeing it too with a non-backported version,
I'd suspect I'd made a mistake somewhere. Hmm.. what to try next?

I'd already attempted to revert mesa versions to when I (thought) it was
working nicely with compiz, but I can't recall quite what version that
was now. (I've purged my /var/cache/apt/archives)

Could the Xorg server cause this kind of issue? Looking at the commit
logs, I don't see much in the way of glx activity. (But would that
affect DRI rendering anyway?)

Are there any tests suggest I run?
