I'm not sure if my problem is exactly the same as this, but I also get heavy flickering and graphic bugs that was not present in 11.10.
My work around: I compiled and installed the nvidia-current package from 11.10 (version 280.13-0ubuntu6.1) for 12.04 amd64. Then I had to add the following to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "ServerFlags" Option "IgnoreABI" "1" EndSection I also added the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (Not sure if this is necessary) blacklist nouveau So far I have had no flickering. My compiled version of the driver can be found at: http://www.sandin.cx /nvidia-current_280.13-0ubuntu6.1_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945006 Title: Screen flickers heavily after upgrading to 12.04 beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/945006/+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
