Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
since upgrading from hardy to intrepid, the display on my Gateway MX6025
laptop now flickers. it is extremely noticeable in the login screens
(GDM), and slightly noticeable (headache inducing...) once logged in,
depending on the display brightness.
lowering the brightness makes it less obvious, but still present.
killing compiz made no difference.
there are quite a lot of error reports in the Xorg log:

"underrun on pipe B"? also, "tried to update DSPARB with both planes enabled!"
also interesting, the only refresh rate available is 60Hz.. but isn't
that modeline telling me 68.9Hz?
