[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 784523] Re: [i915] 'flashing screen' after update to natty
After updating the system to oneiric, the problem still exists -- flickering on the netbook display, but not on external display, but changed: -- the flickering wouldn't occure anymore spontaneously; -- the flickering occures, when I click on Display in the System Settings (behaviour similar as described for Bug #775088, worse than described for Bug #844235) or when I use the encrease/decrease brightness keys of the keyboard -- I can't stop the flickering anymore (neither through right-click, Alt+Tab or Alt+Ctrl+Del nor through the Win-key [as described in Bug #844235 comment #5], Alt+Ctrl+F2 Alt+Ctrl+F7 [as described in Bug #775088 -- at least this has a little effect, the flashing is pausing or slowing down for a second]) In /etc/default/grub, I added acpi_backlight=vendor to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameters as described in comment #45 of Bug #810093, this didn't change anything. Using the samsung-backlight package from https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa as described in comment #26 of Bug #810093 helped: no flickering anymore, I can use System Settings Display as well as the brightness keys to change backlight brightness just as I like.

Hey m.h.a, You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade and re-test if this issue is still present there. If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll close it.) If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784523 Title: [i915] 'flashing screen' after update to natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/784523/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@If I don't stop the 'flashing' immediatly, but e.g. after 15 minutes, a running application (Thunderbird) does not answer anymore and has to be terminated. After some minutes, applications are alive again. @I am running Natty on a Netbook with an additional screen -- the 'flashing' occurs only on the display of the netbook, not on the additional screen. And it occurs almost only when I pause and the system is idle. 1. It occurs also on the netbook display, when I'm using it without additional screen. 2.
