Woohooo, that's interesting.
As Furlong suggested, I ran it allagain, and here it comes:
Code:
wojciech@inspiron:~/programs$ ./compiz-check

And compiz --replace yields:

Trying again with indirect rendering:

Some time ago, I also tried to run Xgl by brutal-force, i.e. by linking... er.. what was it... I guess I linked /etc/X11/X to /usr/bin/Xgl like it was suggested in this antique post.
I know that its an anachronic way, but what a hell. If nothing else works.
Effect was such that (of what I could say by looking at cpu monitor) it rendered some compiz-ian effect through one of my cpu's cores. I mean I could see some shadows cast by the windows, but no cube, nor another compiz stuff.
Once more: I'm not sure if I said it before - about half a year ago, I guess it was the era of Gutsy, I had a working setup for compiz - I ran separate session with Xgl, chose it in gdm. But this stopped working when Hardy arrived.
I guess that if I reinstalled Hardy from scratch, I wouldn't have the problems, but I dont wanna.
