I think this is the reason for the flickering.  Do you also see it if
you connect only the DVI monitor?

Try booting with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 kernel parameter.

I use this nVidia graphics card (from "lspci -vnn"):

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G86

Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting 
Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 

Kernel driver in use: nouveau

The card has two outputs and I connect 2 monitors.
The 1st monitor runs like a dream - no problem at all :-)

Unfortunately the 2nd has a glitch:
The screen flickers in a most annoying way, every few seconds.

I use this script to configure my set-up:

#! /bin/sh
xrandr --newmode "1280x1024"  159.50  1280 1376 1512 1744  1024 1027
1034 1078 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1 1280x1024
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1280x1024 --left-of VGA-1

I had to add a modeline as the EEID is not detected properly on the 2nd
monitor (DVI-I-1)

This results in the set-up I require, but the monitor blinks every few
seconds.
I have also noticed that the GUI freezes for the fraction of a second
that the monitor blinks, even on the primary monitor i.e. the mouse
movement will halt etc.

Just thought I would let you know!
Thanks,

Not a bug.  Only 2 non-DP monitors are supported since there are only
two plls.  If you want 3 or more monitors the rest have to be DP.  The
fact that you can make it work with some fiddling is pure luck and is
completely unsupported.  You end up with one of the plls driving two
monitors which only works if both monitors have the same clock and you
get the ordering right.

That's not too surprising.  "Hardware acceleration" probably means using
OpenGL, and you have NVidia's GL libraries installed, they cannot work
without the blob.

Remove the libgl{1,x}-nvidia-alternatives packages and try again.  Note
that nouveau does not provide 3D acceleration unless you install the
libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package (unsupported, please do not report
bugs) or build Mesa from git yourself[1,2].

Sven

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1+b1
Severity: normal

Activating fullscreen on a youtube video makes the flashplugin scrash, when 
using
the Nouveau driver. This does not happen with the NVIDIA driver. It only
happens when the flashplugin has "hardware acceleration" enabled.
