first) and apply the patch as 'patch -p1 name_of_the_patch.patch'
Typo, it should be
patch -p1 < name_of_the_patch.patch ^^^^^
but you probably already know that
I tried the patch with a 3.0.4 kernel (latest stable). It works and gives something like 2 or 4 fps gain (before the patch the fps dropped to 24-26 while repeatedly minimizing a window, now it drops to 26-28). Do you need even the test with the logs?
I guess then your problem is not the same as the bug I am trying to address with this patch. A few fps gain is probably just an (unrelated) incindental finding. At this time, I don't have new theories other than what I postulated back in August. Sorry.
