Comment: I just confirmed this with the Dapper Flight 4 Live CD. Here are the steps I went through to reproduce: 1) download dapper flight 4 live cd and burn it 2) boot 3) change DefaultDepth in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to 16 ( my T30 only has 16M of ram and a 1400x1050 screen, so direct rendering is only available for [EMAIL PROTECTED] bits) 4) restart gdm 5) load up the gnome-screensaver-preferences and select the GLText screensaver and note how it flickers 6) run gnome-screensaver-command --activate and see the flickery badness 7) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xscreensaver 8) run xscreensaver-demo and select GLText 9) hit Preview and note the lack of flicker. Again, this is on my Thinkpad T30 with this card (as told by lspci): 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
