@Steffen, while turning Compiz off stopped the flicker, I still doubt this is a compiz problem. Could you test the nouveau drivers with Compiz? You could also try out the most recent NVidia drivers now available. @oranges, I am glad that worked for you. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)

It might just be my subjective impression but it seems that the issue got slightly better with the regular updates. Though it becoming better it's still far from being fixed so I ultimately decided to turn compiz effects off. Seems to be a real tricky issue as this happens in different

@Weather: Alright, I will do as you recommended. Any tipps what to post with that bug report? Any log or xorg file or something? @Steffen: Turning off Compiz works for you? I have this even if I have Compiz off. It's really strange. Has someone tried updating to the newest 195 Beta drivers from

Just wanted to let you guys know. I installed the newest 195 Beta drivers from the Nvidia page. I followed the this guide - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990978 and uninstalled the 180 drivers first. It actually works. The screen flickering is gone. I have been using this for like 25min

Hey guys, I have the same problem. I have been looking everywhere for an answer - this is very annoying! It is happening on my laptop, as soon as it gets hooked up (via VGA-OUT) to my external LCD. It flickers for 1/10 of a second e v e r y few seconds, making the system unusable. It's disturbing

BTW: This happens at random all the time ( for me ). The only time this does not happen is when watching a video/movie. This doesn't happen when using the internal/built in laptop lcd - only when plugging in and using the external lcd via vga-out. Oranges -- [Jaunty,Karmic] screen flickers

oranges, because video issues are very tricky to deal with, it is probably best to file a new bug report with all the details of your system. Feel free to mention that your bug might be similar to this one, as that will help us out. Also, feel free to subscribe me to your report, and I can help

This happened to me too, on my old laptop, a Dell Latitude D820 with an NVidia Quadro NVS120M video card, but as far as I can remember, it happened to me after disabling compiz too, so it's likely an NVidia bug, so the ubuntu bug list might not be the best place to report it... unfortunately --

This is likely the same as a known bug related to some work being done to the kernel. The flickers are not really reproducible and varies from hardware to hardware. Just make sure that the system gets updated because this problem is related to the video drivers. Various manufacturers are slowly

Hi evfool, in my case flickering doesn't appear when compiz is turned off. Theres also no flickering in 3D-games (like sauerbraten or nexuiz) Weathergod: Yep, flickers are not reproducible although it seemed to be better when using the previous nvidia 173 drivers. This beeing a problem related

Steffen, Updates to the proprietary nvidia drivers will help. Also, updates to the kernel will also help. On my Fedora 11 system (no compiz), the flickers happened fairly frequently (a few times a day), but over the summer, it reduced to at most once a week and there was no upgrade to the
