Hi guys, I'm guessing your all on Intel graphics chipsets (correct me if I'm wrong). This is a known problem with the DRI on the Intel graphics for all OpenGL programs (but it shows mostly on any windowed programs, like glxgears).

There's no fix at the moment, but I'm told the next release of Xorg will have new drivers with a brand-new DRI option ("DRI2"), which fixes this issue.

The Xorg bug is at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8732.
