Hi Travis,

Thanks for the help.
glxgears "works" in the current mode I'm using, i.e. with indirect rendering 
set, although it's not fast at all:
prompt > glxgears
No kernel support for execution fencing, disabling texture tiling
181 frames in 5.0 seconds = 36.181 FPS
293 frames in 5.0 seconds = 58.459 FPS
286 frames in 5.0 seconds = 57.143 FPS
282 frames in 5.0 seconds = 56.246 FPS
303 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.504 FPS

works much faster if I revert to metacity:
Debug > glxgears
No kernel support for execution fencing, disabling texture tiling
2053 frames in 5.0 seconds = 410.518 FPS
2058 frames in 5.0 seconds = 411.581 FPS
2075 frames in 5.0 seconds = 414.926 FPS
2053 frames in 5.0 seconds = 410.574 FPS
2066 frames in 5.0 seconds = 413.187 FPS

Obviously I can't test it with compiz running without the indirect
rendering flag on, since I can't see any window on my desktop while in
that mode.

I don't know if I'm using kernel modesettings: I'm not familiar with
this term. How do I check whether it's the case?

One thing I forgot to mention: yesterday I upgraded the x server to the preview 
of the 2.8 drivers as per this web page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance
I did that because the server was also hanging on me once in a while, usually 
when interacting with firefox.


Regards.
