Does it work after or while running a glx program? I had some
problems with this on a laptop. VSync worked when an external
monitor was connected or when running glxgears. To get around
it I had to turn off or enable something in the driver source.
I believe they turn off interrupts on vblank to save power. This
should really become an option in the xorg file. Maybe it already
is for the newest driver?
