Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Google chrome intermittently flickers (sometimes even Firefox I found, but very very rarely), and can cause a seizure in some people as it can flash between black and white 60 times a second.
