(In reply to comment #8) > Is this still an issue with kms or newer versions of the driver?
Yes, it is (sorry for my lack of updates), but with KMS is different. I'm currently using Debian Squeeze: xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13.1-2 xserver-xorg 1:7.5+7 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.7-8 libdrm2 2.4.21-1~squeeze3 linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-26 (it contains drm from 2.6.34) When KMS is turned on (default behaviour), the flickering stars when (I think) the kernel module is loaded (I don't know if radeon or drm) and when Xorg starts, the flickering is fixed (just like Xorg change some values) and virtual consoles work again. How can I help to debug this issue? -- 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/175243 Title: [Mobility 9000] screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/175243/+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
