@Robert: i915.powersave=0 looks like it did the trick. Thanks! I'm attaching a full dmesg grepped for "drm" The flickering happens at max brightness and at lower brightness settings.
@Chris: Flickering was totally random, but it seemed to slightly increase in frequency when there was more load on the system. That increase could have been totally subjective though. ** Attachment added: "dmesg-2010-03-07.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43403734/dmesg-2010-03-07.txt -- [gm45] flicker on bottom third of screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel 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
