Andy, I tried the latest Natty kernel (2.6.37-12). By default, the problem does seem a little better than in the current Maverick kernel (2.6.35-24). If I disable the polling with 2.6.37-12 (echo N > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll), the problem goes away completely. I have a Radeon video card.
