[Bug 153204] Re: [MASTER] Applications are flickering/flashing in full screen mode

[JoaoH]

Jaunty 9.04 Beta:
HP G60 Laptop, Intel Graphics card, 2.0GHz Dual Core, 2Gig Memory, 16" wide screen (1366x768).

I seem to have the similar problem, when running Firefox in full screen
mode, everytime I right click the whole screen flickers. Rather
annoying.

A couple of test I did and wanted to pass on to whom ever might be
interested:

>From command line, glxgears gives a performance of about 740FPS, with a slight hesitation/flicker sparatically.
If I run "sudo glxgears" I get almost 1100 FPS and super smooth operation.

If I turn off compiz, glxgears stays about the same, but sudo glxgears
drops to about 900 FPS.

Running "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glblur -window -fps" gets me really bad flickering, can't even tell what the rate is.
If I run "sudo /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glblur -window -fps", supper smooth results...
