    Laptop monitor display ----> flickers now & then

    - My laptop display gets flickering now & then whenever I minimize/maximize windows or launching some applications.

    - It becomes also saturated with lines and solid colors for a while before it goes back normal.

    A screenshot is attached.


    Any clue?

    Two things that solved the same issues on my own 1101ha

    * Get the poulsbo drivers from like here

    * Install the newest compat wireless, like here

    Probably you did already the first part. The second part should be the critical part, because it seems that this bad X issue seems to be related to old/broken ath9k drivers. I installed also wicd instead of network-manager, but I dunno if this could be helpful.
