New install of Maverick UNE to a new (to me) Acer Aspire 5100-3949. Ran into this bug, and going through the workarounds. So far the only workaround that "works" is the one in Bug #576181 (keep the processor busy with a bash script). Yuck. Especially if you're on battery.

Just tried the Ubuntu-X PPA at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
No improvement.

Will next try the Xorg Crack PPA https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers
I will report back IF it fixes this.

P.S.: I installed UNE, and Unity doesn't work at all on this beast, so I'm logging in using GNOME. In Unity the desktop is blank, and the widgets flash blank rectangles when I mouse over but they are unreadable. I found the power widget in the top-right corner so I could make the menu come up to get it logged out. Related problem? When I get a chance I will file a Unity bug.
