Bug Description

when I play trine / trine2 / shadowgrounds / shadowgrounds survivior / oil rush / amnesia the dark decent while compiz enabled, they suffer heavily from video lag, lowering the graphics will not work! it happens every time since I upgraded my pc to ubuntu 12.04 beta2

logging in to gnome-classic (no-effects) is my current workaround to play these games, games like xonotic / open-arena / cogs and most wine-games are not effected by this bug...

my laptop also doesn't suffer from this bug but that's explainable since my laptop has an optimus-card, so compiz runs on an intel HD3000 while the games run on my Nvidia-GT540M. so the games are not affected by compiz...

most people will disagree with me, but I don't want to log-out unity and log back into the gnome-panel environment every time I want to play a game...

Hi, omega. Thanks for the report. I, too, have reported a bug on this issue. I'm going to mark yours as a duplicate of mine because mine features a video (though both of ours has a good description).

Thanks!
