 Bjorn,
 What the status of this bug for you? Did you try a recent upstream
 snapshot (package from experimental)?

Unfortunately, I too am unable to repeat this bug. My Dell screen broke and the 
new one (BenQ G2400W) doesn't show the problem.

 would be helpful.

Sorry, I totally forgot about this.  Unfortunately, I have a different
computer now, so I can't really test it anymore.  I remember however that the
problem had vanished before I switched computers.  Maybe this bug report can
be closed unless someone else is still experiencing the problem.

Bye,

I'm sorry, but don't expect anything from me soon.  I don't think I'll
find time to work on it today, and I'll be on holiday for a week
starting tomorrow.  So if someone else with the same problem could
step in in the meantime, that would be great.

Bye,
Jö.

 Does it still happen with the 6.8.191 rc?

 It happens for me with 1:6.9.0-1+lenny1.  At least the blackouts of the
 screen for about half a second, I haven't seen the flickers.  I can confirm
 that moving a window makes the blackouts happen for sure, but they also happen
 from time to time otherwise.

RIght, but I asked about the 6.8.191 release candidates, not 6.9.0+ :)
 There were changes during the release candidate series that may be
related.  Hence if you could test a 6.8.191 rc release, that would
help me narrow down the problem.

Thanks,

Alex

Are there packages available somewhere, or do I have to compile myself?  Where
exactly would I get the original sources?  I've seen things like

  git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel

but I'm a bit confused because of the xf86 part, I would expect xorg or
similar instead.

Bye,

I'm not sure if debian still has packages of the rc releases
available.  if not, you will have to build from source. The xf86 is a
vestige of the fact that these drivers originally came from xfree86
and the API's the implement were mostly from the xfree86 days.  Also,
remember to backup your original
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so.
Pull from git:
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
checkout 6.8.191 by tag name:
git checkout -f xf86-video-ati-6.8.191
configure:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make:
make
install (as root):
make install

No, they are not available anymore.

 Pull from git:
 git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
 checkout 6.8.191 by tag name:
 git checkout -f xf86-video-ati-6.8.191
 configure:
 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
 make:
 make
 install (as root):
 make install
   

And before doing this, you can get the required development packages:
$ apt-get install git-core xutils-dev
$ apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-ati

If you need help, feel free to ask.

Brice
