stuttering 3d and drm_wait_vblank error

[surfer]

Hello,

I have a ThinkPad T61 with the GM965 chipset and when I run an opengl application (ex: glxgears) the 3d movement is stuttering. I also get this message in the kernel log:

[drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22

This machine:

xf86-video-intel and mesa are from GIT, built 06/24/09. The kernel is drm-intel from GIT, built 06/24/09.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Should I report a bug?

Is your xf86-video-intel also from git? You should probably file a bug.

[drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22

It happens with kwin or compiz.

Looks like it's not an uncommon problem:

I didn't find any upstream bug reports about it, so it's probably worthwhile to file it:
