** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  I'm not really sure how to best describe this bug, so I think it would
  be best to invoke the wisdom of the person working on it:
  http://virtuousgeek.org/blog/index.php/jbarnes/2009/05/07/pageflipping_blocking_etc
  
  Jesse Barnes and others are hard at work at this moment to deliver tear-
  free output (read  vsync) over DRI2. Unfortunately, only 95% of the
  requisite code may make it into Karmic if 2.6.30 is the chosen kernel
  for the release.
  
  Short of a backport of the needed kernel modifications and a merging of
  the dri2-swapbuffers branches into certain packages, Ubuntu may find
  itself lacking proper vsync in an DRI2+UXA+KMS setup until at least next
  April.
  
  In order to properly implement DRI2 swapbuffers, the following
  modifications are needed:
  
      * dri2-swapbuffers branches of dri2proto, mesa, xserver and xf86-video-intel
      * kms-pageflip from the drm tree
      * i915-dri2-swapbuffers-15.patch from the “[RFC] DRI2 swapbuffers (yes yet again)” thread on dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
