*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1087534 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087534
The flickering is caused by the wrong positioning of the blurred texture (bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1087534). When I completely disable the blur the flickering doesn't occur. I will mark this bug as duplicated. Also, It might be a good idea to disable the blur effect by default on low end embedded Intel GPUs, as a stopgap measure until the #1087534 bug is resolved. Btw, the partitioning on the video forces a continuous redisplay (thus the flickering) but is otherwise unrelated to the bug. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1087534 [regression] Corrupted blurred overlays -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100970 Title: [gen3] Dash background flickers on intel graphics Status in Nux: Confirmed Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Unity dash flickers on my machine with intel graphics.
