You have been subscribed to a public bug: After upgrading to 11.10 I am getting terrible screen flicker with the opensourced ATI drivers. Every time I go to the desktop switcher I get crazy flickering across the screen. When I go into my lenses I get horrible flickering.
I tried installing gnome-shell to see if there would be flickering there, and I still get occasional flickering, but not nearly as much. I even tried install Kubuntu, but it is also suffering from horrible flickering. I believe the problem has to do with xorg, during the early parts in alpha development I didn't have a flickering problem, but towards the end and now it is extremely bad. Also, when I install the fglrx proprietary drivers the flickering goes away (though the window responsibleness is horrible). Also, I am still having the issue when uninstalling fglrx it breaks my entire desktop. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 x64, on an acer aspire 5553 with a Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series card. Will we be seeing Catalyst 11.9 or 11.10 at all? ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- terrible screen flicker in 11.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
