The bug is still happening to me with a fully updated Natty. How I can set compiz to run with vblank_mode=0 and vsync disabled to prevent this, as suggested on comment #32 ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Ahem. I've traced this locally and it doesn't *seem* to be a compiz problem. Compiz is waiting for the next frame, and X is waiting for the kernel to tell it the next frame has happened. Adding a kernel task, as it looks like that's where the problem lies. -- You received this bug

Ok. So, for a work around I think we can start compiz with the vblank_mode=0 environment set and vsync disabled; this will stop compiz being blocked waiting on vsync, but in return allow some tearing to occur. With vblank_mode=0 I can toggle dpms on/off with a GL screensaver running - which
