You are showing a pretty negative attitude towards people contributing information. Especially since the bug has disappeared for some people it can be interesting to know it hasn't for others (granted, we don't tons of me-toos in this case). Bug report status is not always perfectly in sync with the real status, some bugs gets fixed magically. It's of great value for Ubuntu that people comment in the bug tracker and keep bug reports alive. For those who don't like users there are more developer-oriented projects like Debian and Gnome.

[Bug 245383] Re: Screen flickers when loading applications
I can confirm this happens on -nv with two monitors attached (but not set up for dual-head). I've also seen flickering on -intel on a laptop, although it's character differs from the -nv flickering I'm seeing, so not sure it's exactly the same problem. Possibly... I'm closing out the xserver-xorg-video-nv task since we don't need it against both. I'll also move the xorg bug to the server since it's probably a server issue. For people seeing flickering on hardy, you're almost certainly seeing something unrelated, since we use different versions of xserver and the drivers there. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu Intrepid) Importance: Undecided = High Status: Confirmed = Triaged Target: None = intrepid-alpha-5 ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu Intrepid) Sourcepackagename: xorg = xorg-server -- Screen flickers when loading applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 245383] Re: Screen flickers when loading applications
According to the upstream bug, this is a problem in gtk, not in X. Reassigning package. If I'm not mistaken, EDID transfers are done in-band and thus will cause the monitor to lose sync. There's really no way around it. From the recent thread on the mailing list, it sounds like the solution is to fix GTK to not rely so heavily on calls to XRRGetScreenResources(). ** Changed in: libgnome (Ubuntu Intrepid) Sourcepackagename: xorg-server = libgnome -- Screen flickers when loading applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 245383] Re: Screen flickers when loading applications
I am seeing this problem as well, on both Hardy and Intrepid. Hardy worked fine for me until an upgrade about a week ago. Attempting to get away from it, I moved to Intrepid, which also shares the same problem. As with others, starting up gnome-termina, mozilla, or most any other application causes the dual-headed attached lcd monitor to flicker or blink, for about one second. Transitory windows, such as run application, do not cause the problem to happen. The hardware here is a Gateway laptop with a Intel Mobile 945GM with a 1280x800 LCD and an external monitor at 1680x1050. In order to get dual heading to work, I added a Virtual desktop setup to my xorg.conf to five a resolution of 2960 x 1050. #ubuntu+1 hints that this is possibly a problem with xrandr or load- detect, and isn't unique to NV, so this bug will probably get merged in with something else soon. -- Screen flickers when loading applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 245383] Re: Screen flickers when loading applications
I have an Intel 945GM and am using dual screens in extended mode. I'm experiencing the screen flicker as well. I've tracked down the issue to a problem with Xorg. For some reason, it does DDC detection every time a new application is open (so every time a new app connects to the X server).The following lines are printed in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log EVERY TIME an application is launched: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log -n 30 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor SEC, prod id 17495 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline 1440x900x0.0 95.44 1440 1504 1536 1744 900 903 906 912 -hsync -vsync (54.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor SEC, prod id 17495 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor SAM, prod id 549 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor SEC, prod id 17495 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline 1440x900x0.0 95.44 1440 1504 1536 1744 900 903 906 912 -hsync -vsync (54.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor SEC, prod id 17495 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor SAM, prod id 549 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor SEC, prod id 17495 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline 1440x900x0.0 95.44 1440 1504 1536 1744 900 903 906 912 -hsync -vsync (54.7 kHz) This is clearly what is causing the screen flicker. We need to file a bug upstream against Xorg. Maybe one has been filed already. Anyone aware of this? This bug should probably be moved to a more generic xorg package since it's not specific to nv. Maybe xserver-xorg-core ? In the meantime, I've attached my /var/log/Xorg.0.log Could others attach it as well to see if it is indeed the same issue?

I have a similar issue. I'm using an Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller rev 3 on an HP NC6220 laptop. The laptop screen is fine, but my SOHO TOPAZ S 24 LCD flickers once an application or dialog is launched. It seems to only happen the first time the application is launched, i.e. if you are using nautilus (example), minimizing or opening a new nautilus window while one is already active, will NOT cause a flicker. -- Screen flickers when loading applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I updated all my intrepid packages to the latest available and that still did not fix the issue. I ended up turning off the laptop display, and working only with the LCD and the problem went away.
