Hm. I tried this patch:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git;a=commit;h=4f5500abe209b92b39ae1f2d7a1118362ac95034

But that seems not enough:
$ glxinfo -l | grep GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE
     GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 2048

And if I override the check in Compiz I still get a messed-up background
in the area >2048...

Any ideas? Do I need other patches, too?

Regards,
  Mika
