I'm still not certain if this is the most appropriate place to post about the bug. I am unable to run Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu UNR 9.10 live CDs so I am thinking this is a significant bug.
This evening I was eventually able to stop the flickering with sudo stop gdm. sudo nano etc/X11/xorg.conf listed the vesa driver. With Ubuntu 9.10 I use on my hard drive I use the current recommended nvidia ver 185 driver. If I sudo start gdm then the flickering returns. -- upgrade breaks graphic drivers and x, preventing login or startx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
