Britt, if "Force full screen redraw (buffer swap) on repaint" doesn't work then that confirms there is a problem with the driver. or hardware (probably driver). Because that option should give you flawless silky- smooth graphics so long as vsync or SwapBuffersWait support is enabled in the driver.
Also, your Xorg logs confirm that you already have SwapBuffersWait enabled by default: [ 1524.476] (II) RADEON(0): SwapBuffers wait for vsync: enabled So if "Force full screen redraw (buffer swap) on repaint" is also enabled then it's definitely a driver or hardware problem. Sorry :( Other options you can try with the radeon driver are documented on the "radeon" manual page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man4/radeon.4.html ** No longer affects: compiz-core -- 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
