I did not have any flickering with Jaunty stable. It would be better upgrading the video drivers only since Karmic is pretty unstable now. Try the drivers from the ubuntu-x-swat ppa:

Just open a terminal and write: sudo do-release-upgrade -d -- [i945] Screen flickering after logging in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
