Hi Christofer, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.1 ans I can still reproduce this issue. It start flickering after some time and for stopping it I have to use "sudo xinput set-prop 8 "Device Enabled" 0".
Should I run "apport-collect -p xorg-server 875504" while my screen flickering or I can just do it right now? (now it doesn't flicker) Thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875504 Title: terrible screen flicker in 11.10 Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: 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?
