bkrzem, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Maverick 
reached EOL on April 10, 2012.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We were wondering if this is still an issue in a supported release? If
so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD
images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in a
supported release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).
It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to
this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the
issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do
not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the
bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the
'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow
pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description
and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment
on which kernel version specifically you tested.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not
boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment
as to why specifically you were unable to test it.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  I am on Toshiba NB 205 netbook. The OpenGL animations are jerky but when
  I rest my finger on the touchpad (!) it seems to help.  For example, the
  glxgears animation is very jerky and I get about 130 - 170 frames / 5
  sec. , but with my finger on the touchpad the framerate goes to 300
  frames / 5 sec. (synced with verical refresh) and the animation is very
  smooth. Similarly when playing Extreme Tux Racer - the graphics is jerky
  but seems to be much smoother with my finger touching the trackpad. This
  happens both with the stock xorg and xorg-edgers ppa packages. I did not
  have this issue in ubuntu 9.10. My distribution is Maverick Meerkat
  installed from alternate CD, openbox window manager, no desktop effects.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: nohz=off, disabling the hyperthreaded CPU on the atom or by
+ saving this to ~/.drirc to disable vblank
+ 
+ <driconf>
+     <device screen="0" driver="dri2">
+         <application name="Default">
+             <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" />
+         </application>
+     </device>
+ </driconf>
