Public bug reported: on AMD64, with dual screen enabled, the screen that is plugged on DVI randomly 'flashes black' as for a resolution change and returns to normal after about 2 seconds. it is as if the screen reinitializes, or at least attempts a resolution change to the same resolutions. rarely, i will receive a "input not supported" message on that screen; it switches back after a few seconds.
this problem is very annoying as it occurs every 5 minutes or so, sometimes 2 to 3 times in a row, and then works for up to 10 minutes before it occurs again. this happens only on the DVI output since i tried switching my screens and the problem switched to the other screen also. note: i used to have this problem on edgy as well. windows vista does not have this problem. thanks!
