Yeah I guess that's it, time to give up on this one. Wiggling the mouse or running with wayland should fix this.
Thanks for reporting this bug and testing ideas, sorry that we couldn't make this work :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087582 Title: [gen3] Bad GPU performance whilst CPU is in deep sleep Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have an Acer AOD250(KAV60) netbook. On Ubuntu 12.10 with glxgears I get 50-60 fps, while on Lubuntu I get half that and sometimes worse. The odd thing about this is that when I start moving my mouse around it straightens up and goes back to roughly 55-60 fps, and once I stop moving the mouse, the performance drops again. I know the chipset and GPU isn't the best out there, but it shouldn't be acting like this(before, I was able to use Celestia with ease but now I get below 5 fps).
