Hi Christofer, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.1 ans I can still reproduce this issue. It start flickering after some time and for stopping it I have to use sudo xinput set-prop 8 Device Enabled 0.

Tereshenko Dmitriy, given you have completely different hardware then the original reporter, it's preferred you file a new report via a terminal: ubuntu-bug xorg Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

Britt Yazel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given you have already done this on a prior release, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

[Bug 875504] Re: terrible screen flicker in 11.10
I found a workaround that works for me. This only works for nvidia-cards. The problem I appear to have is also discussed here for 10.04: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476693. The problem for nvidia in my case is the 'PowerMizer' feature that is found on laptops using nvidia-drivers. It dynamically underclocks the GPU when it's not being used much, and this caused the flickering in my case. The workaround I have found so far was to follow what was suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828369highlight=powermizer Basically I run this script in the background, forcing my 'Performance Level' to be fixed at 1. #!/bin/bash while true; do nice /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -q all /dev/null sleep 25 done Ugly, but it works :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875504 Title: terrible screen flicker in 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/875504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm also having this same problem. I have a dell notebook, Vostro 3550 model with AMD Radeon HD 6630M card. At first the screen flickered a lot for some minutes right after turning it on. After a while it stopped, but yesterday after I've downloaded and installed the last updates, the screen became completely black, and didn't stop blinking, on and off again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875504 Title: terrible screen flicker in 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/875504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

On my Desktop PC I am running 11.10 x64 with a AMD Radeon HD 6950 graphics card with Gallium 0.4 on AMD Cayman drivers, and I do not get any flicker at all. Although, on my AMD Radeon HD mobility 4200 series card on my laptop, I get horrible flicker while doing most things in Unity and Gnome-Shell, and that is while running the standard Gallium 0.4 drivers. Is there something drastically different in the drivers between these two different cards? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875504 Title: terrible screen flicker in 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/875504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have noticed on my HD mobility 4200 Series card and with the open sourced drivers, most of the screen flicker in Gnome Shell happens when there is a windows shown and you mouse to the bottom right hand corner to see notifications.

[Bug 875504] Re: terrible screen flicker in 11.10
In Unity this issue mostly occurs when viewing different lenses. The whole 'lens' feature creates a black tear that streches the span of the screen and is very ugly. Also, when dragging a window to the top to use the snap-to-fullscreen feature it has HORRIBLE tearing. Unity tearing is far worse than Gnome-Shell tearing, but both are present. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875504 Title: terrible screen flicker in 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/875504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Got the same problem after a fresh install of kubuntu 11.10 x64. Also, and likely related, I cannot access any virtual terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6]. I just get a black screen, but I can resume the first graphical X session by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7.
