I'm almost sure it's because of the latest changes in Intel drivers related to KMS (kernel-mode-setting). Few months ago the situation was much worse (for me), with random freezes on KDE (switched temporarily to GNOME). Now I get similar "flickers" only briefly during login (probably because of resolution changes etc.) You should use these drivers with up to date Xorg+drivers, otherwise your chances are slim. Fedora 10, HP DV-4000, with Intel-915GM (I think, it's not in front of me now). Cheer up, it should be OK soon (X.org-1.6 should be around the corner). -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 o...@actcom.co.il http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron Life is a sexually transmitted, 100% lethal disease. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
