The point of the testing is to use eventstat to find things causing lots of wakeups, which could have an impact on power consumption and battery life. So working around the bug would kind of defeat the purpose of testing. In this case, it's running kvm so it isn't a real video card.

I've been having trouble getting the data to stabilize and showed it to Colin King recently, who seems to have found the culprit. If you look at https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/eventstat-raring-desktop-amd64 -install-idle-vm/95/artifact/eventstat.csv you will see that on line 8, the events/second for compiz jumps dramatically. Move over a few columns and you'll see that this sudden rise corresponds to gnome- screensaver activating. This is on a freshly installed raring vm, so it should be the default screensaver.
