Timo, can you attach the kernel patch here?
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Target: None => jaunty-alpha-6
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Assignee: (unassigned) => Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)
** Description changed:
Some compiz animations (most, though not all) cause temporary freezes. For
example, when spinning the cube or switching between applications, everything
on the screen suddenly freezes for a couple of seconds, and then it returns to
normal. The desktop behaves sort of like a narcoleptic person would. Normally,
this behavior starts a couple of minutes after X has started. That is, when
logging in to a GNOME session, everything is smooth and
fine for a couple of minutes, and then this problem surfaces making compiz
unusable. Furthermore, the problem only appears when using EXA. With UXA this
particular problem does not appear.
Unfortunately, I haven't found anything of interest in the logs and don't know
where else from to get additional useful information. Please let me know how I
can help.
Xorg.0.log attached.
This is on Jaunty with the following packages.
libdrm: 2.4.4-0ubuntu2
libgl1-mesa-dri: 7.3~rc3-1ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu1
linux-image-2.6.28-5: 2.6.28-5.15
I reported the upstream bug as well, but with packages I had compiled
myself for intrepid.

+ [update]
+ A kernel patch is available, which timo has confirmed solves the issue,
however there is still discussion upstream whether this will be the final patch
or needs further changes. Tim will wait to see if the upstream discussion gets
to a resolution before we pull it in, and pull it in by alpha-6 at the latest.
