Sorry, full description:

Description of problem:
Enabling Compiz desktop effects while using dual displays on Samsung NC10 netbook at higher resolutions results in both screens displaying bars and stripes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
compiz-0.8.6-1.fc13.i686
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.10.0-4.fc13.i686

How reproducible: 
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up Samsung NC10 netbook with external display
2. Set laptop/external resolutions to 640x480/1024x768 or greater
3. Enable Compiz desktop effects

Actual results:
Both screens display pattern of vertical bars with horizontal stripes over
enlarged icons; no open application windows visible.

Expected results:
Enabled desktop effects functionality.

Additional info:
Dual displays work fine without desktop effects enabled, at all resolutions.  Enabling/disabling Metacity compositing has no effect.

Attaching screenshot grabbed of both displays using ImageMagick's 'import'; although screenshot shows visible application windows over striped background, only striped background was visible.

Desktop effects work with dual displays up to resolutions of 1024x600 netbook / 832x624 external.

Perhaps related to Bug 497069, Bug 546050, Bug 513736.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:50:20 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
