Binary package hint: xorg

I am on Toshiba NB 205 netbook. The OpenGL animations are jerky but when
I rest my finger on the touchpad (!) it seems to help.  For example, the
glxgears animation is very jerky and I get about 130 - 170 frames / 5
sec. , but with my finger on the touchpad the framerate goes to 300
frames / 5 sec. (synced with verical refresh) and the animation is very
smooth. Similarly when playing Extreme Tux Racer - the graphics is jerky
but seems to be much smoother with my finger touching the trackpad. This
happens both with the stock xorg and xorg-edgers ppa packages. I did not
have this issue in ubuntu 9.10. My distribution is Maverick Meerkat
installed from alternate CD, openbox window manager, no desktop effects.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
