Getting latest drivers directly from the ATI website helps if u got an ATI card. -- Visualization Flicker https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304084 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

Not always. In many cases it completely crashes the system and requires Ubuntu to be reinstalled! If you buy one of the new range of ati card (come-on you cheap-skates!) then of course the ati site is great. Sorry but this has happened to me too many times to let this one go.

[Bug 304084] Re: Visualization Flicker
hey, I think I found out why there's no flicker in no XV mode. XV probably stands for external video, therefore it is faster to use XV(graphics card), but XV proves problematic because of the flickering. So, I'd say for good performance, go XV; for good quality but bad framerate, go no XV. -- Visualization Flicker https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304084 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

This and that. Seems fine to have an explanation a bit more obvious like that :) I thought i might re-post the work-around again too because it takes a lot of scrolling and hunting around at the moment. Open a terminal window (Applications menu - Accessories - Terminal) and type gstreamer-properties in the pop-up box choose the Video tab and from the output drop-down list choose the option that says '... (no Xv)' Good luck and have fun.

I have a HP Pavillion DV5-1160BR and comment #5 fixed the flickering for me too. Is there any disadvantage in this setting (lower performance, etc)?

[Bug 304084] Re: Visualization Flicker
I don't know why it's not the default. I found out that it also helps for the same problem with nVidia cards. At least having an ati card means that in a couple of years there will be some good OpenSource drivers. nVidia still need to be hassled into releasing enough information for linux developers to have something to work with. It does seem that not everyone with an nVidia or ati card is affected but it seems a bit random as to why some are and some aren't affected. Perhaps that's why it's not default. The no Xv allegedly means that that the work isn't being done by the onboard Gpu and is thrown back to the Cpu to deal with!!! Which does explain a few things about my Cpu and Ram usage which should never reach 50% but sometimes hovers around 40-50%. Anyway, i'm not really sure. All that i said above is just rumour and gossip but i think it's probably fairly accurate.

yea it is on dual boot actually one quick question if you dont mind, i have a 64-bit processor the turion ultra from amd. i was thinking could that also be part of the issue and even if not should i still instead just install the 32-bit version of ubuntu? would that be better or rather give me a wider range of software to pick from?

Ooops, i was miles away there. So far i've found 32bit OS's seem better than their 64bitversions but there's lots i haven't tried and i'm not exactly an expert, just another noob really. My theory is that 32bit versions get used and reported on more so bugs get noticed and fixed faster.
