I'm not really sure how to best describe this bug, so I think it would be best to invoke the wisdom of the person working on it: http://virtuousgeek.org/blog/index.php/jbarnes/2009/05/07/pageflipping_blocking_etc

Jesse Barnes and others are hard at work at this moment to deliver tear-free output (read vsync) over DRI2. Unfortunately, only 95% of the requisite code may make it into Karmic if 2.6.30 is the chosen kernel for the release.

Short of a backport of the needed kernel modifications and a merging of the dri2-swapbuffers branches into certain packages, Ubuntu may find itself lacking proper vsync in an DRI2+UXA+KMS setup until at least next April.
