Public bug reported:

Hi,

on ubuntu 13.04, 64-bit, my external screen flickers, but only when activated 
without the laptop screen at full resolution of 1920x1080 px
reducing to 1027x768 solves the problem. When having extended desktop over 
laptop and external screen, no flickering appears.

In Windows, I have no flickering, so its neither the cable nor the
monitor
