flip is it?

I don't think so; I think that's submitting the compositor's pageflip to drm.

Compiz will only page flip when something on the screen changes. So
unless there is something animating on the screen immediately after
login, it will go to sleep and will stop page flipping. The server
should not make any assumptions about the time between page flips.

Yeah; there's no point in flipping unchanged frames.
