Comment 32 for bug 555595

Hmm, it doesn't seem that it's a CPU problem, as my CPU *does* remain underclocked with compiz running, but it's not being used anyway (it's at about 10% usage). It seems to be a graphics problem, I'm getting the 1 fps you're talking about for some reason, but my CPU runs fine in other applications. I can see in the panel applet that the clock scales just fine when under stress.

Since everything works fine with the old kernel, this points to a kernel problem (at least not a hardware problem, anyway). I am very frustrated because I have Compiz set up with some shortcuts very useful to my workflow, and my productivity suffers from this bug. On top of that, it doesn't seem to be getting any attention...

My problem does indeed not seem to be the same as this poster's, I will try looking for another bug, thanks for your feedback.
