I have found a stable method to reproduce the bug on my system. I start: env WINEPREFIX="/home/balakirev/.wine" wine "C:/Program Files/Evernote/Evernote/Evernote.exe"
then got flicker and that in syslog: Nov 14 05:12:57 balakirev-laptop acpid: client 1423[0:0] has disconnected Nov 14 05:12:57 balakirev-laptop acpid: client connected from 1423[0:0] Nov 14 05:12:57 balakirev-laptop acpid: 1 client rule loaded Nov 14 05:12:57 balakirev-laptop kernel: [ 992.173811] Skipping EDID probe due to cached edid Nov 14 05:13:21 balakirev-laptop kernel: [ 1015.467516] Skipping EDID probe due to cached edid Nov 14 05:13:21 balakirev-laptop kernel: [ 1015.754956] Skipping EDID probe due to cached edid Nov 14 05:13:24 balakirev-laptop kernel: [ 1018.536508] Skipping EDID probe due to cached edid ... I have messages from acpid about client and from kernel about EDID every time when I start wine and every time I got flicker. It can be somehow connected to the reasons of a bug and will help in it fixing. This bug is very similar to bug#595773. -- Xorg is unusably slow and flickery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
