[Problem]
When system is under load, the graphics experience periodic glitches.
Perhaps under the load of oneiric's Unity3D the driver isn't able to keep up with the graphics loads, and isn't able to fill the pipe 100% of the time? How could that be proved/disproved (or are we way off base?)
[Original Description]
I have a Lenovo X200 laptop, and I run Unity 3D. Every so often, since oneiric, my screen jitters. That is, it seems to jump up and down like it has a nervous twitch. I can't reproduce it exactly, but it seems more likely to happen when my system is under load.
I've monitored .xsession-errors when the twitch happens, and nothing is dumped there. I've also checked /var/crash/, but none of the crashes there have times that match the twitch.
Chris Halse Rogers suggested trying, "echo 0 > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll", but that doesn't seem to correct the problem.
In addition, unity_support_test crashed while filing this bug.
