I found this in Ubuntu patches: it is a patch to mesa (I applied it to
intel-dri) which seems to fix the problem, at least on my notebook
which has 945GM graphics. The fact is, it disables vblank, so there
will be artifacts if you move, for example, the glxgears window. It's
not a problem for me, since I don't use 3D games or similar things.
