1. the same still holds for all ubuntu 14.04.2 - and all of its derivatives2. the flickering does not exist in the very first - and original - kernel of ubuntu 14.043. the flickering does not exist in 'linux mint 17.0' - since 'mint' does not change kernels, the way ubuntu does

We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg 1405277 Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.
