Intel opengl problem

Hi,

Compositing shuts off on an Intel GM45 regardless of the method used.  I get an
error that says it's too slow.  I was on an OLD single-core thinkpad t400 with
Intel GMA and had some compositing effects.  

Now I'm on a dual-core pci-express machine and the compositing shuts off in
less than 5 minutes.  Attempts to use the OpenGL option result in the window
manager color being completely blown-out before ending as described.  See
attached screenshot.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

I tried lots of tricks like Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" which helped generate a
bit more speed.  But basically compositing and animation don't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Log into machine.
Expect some compositing once the desktop is ready.

Actual Results:  
Compositing shuts off.

Expected Results:  
Plenty of cool animation
