[Bug 653815] [NEW] X freezes momentarily every 10 seconds

[Jonathan Corwin]

Public bug reported:

Since upgrading from Lucid to Maverick RC, X appears to stutter every 10
seconds. Mouse/Keyboard input freezes momentarily. Video playback
stutters every 10 seconds or so making it hard to watch. I had no such
problems with Lucid.

Dell Latitude D505
Running Gnome. Visual Effects are off.
Graphics: Intel 82852/855GM Integrated

I looked at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9868335, but I
don't have a radeon card and I don't have unclutter installed, and the
/sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_* files didn't exist.

I tried adding the boot parameters intel_idle.max_cstate=0 as per
http://ca.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9894139 but that made no
difference.
