Hi t fix all these things I updated xserver-xorg-video-intel to version 2.7 and put this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Option "UseFBDev" "true"
 Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection

(It could be done with sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

Follow this page to get instructions how to install latest version of intel driver from x-updates: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

The latest version of intel video driver fixes many, many many things!!!

perfomance is really enhanced (test it with glxgears for example)

Many issues with video like glxgears, googleearth, compiz, and things like that are fixed!!

I suggested this version of driver should be default driver for Jaunty and others but somebody rejected my opinion and said to me "if you want to get latest driver install it from x-updates"

Then I'm trying to resolve this myself.

If you want to enable compiz in Jaunty you can do it adding this SKIP_CHECKS=yes
 to one of these files:

~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config
~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager

I added the line to both files because I'm not sure wich one is correct in Ubuntu, but at least it is working really great than before!
