First, I was using the vesa drivers, so Compiz failed to start. I switched to intel by removing the vesa packages, installing libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-dlx along with xserver-xorg-vide-intel, and now Compiz starts but is incredibly glitchy. Switching workspaces makes everything blink uncontrollably, for example. I don't know what to try next.
