WoW!!! Using step 2 from above and tweaking the radeon driver [Option "SwapbuffersWait" "on"] in the xorg.conf file solved this problem perfectly!
This issue has been bugging me for almost a full year since 11.10. Now that we know that this is the problem and your fix works, is there any chance of incorporating this as a default value so that way the others with this same problem will not have to manually create and populate the xorg.conf file? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933289 Title: bad flickering with Radeon drivers in 12.04 Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/933289/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
