** Description changed: Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils I am running Karmic Koala (9.10). When I am using a software to chat (like xchat or kvirc), the screen becomes black for a second each "N" seconds. It seems that the frequence depends on the size of the window (per ex. when maximised the screen turns to black each 2 seconds). I get the same problem even disabling compiz (setting in appearence "no effects"). I would like a stable image and stay in a Linux environment. I didn't have this problem with Hardy Heron (8.04). Never tested Intrepid (8.10). I have found this problem, also in Jaunty (9.04). My graphic card is this: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series (Primary) 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series (Secondary) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CheckboxCommand: xrandr CheckboxData: Le modalità rilevate sembrano corrette, tuttavia, usando software di chat, lo schermo diventa nero ad intermittenza. La frequenza con la quale capita sembra dipendere dalla dimensione della finestra stessa (massimizzata, ogni 2 secondi circa) CheckboxDescription: Nel sistema sono stati rilevati i seguenti schermi e le seguenti modalità video: $output Risulta corretto?
