Screen Flicker Ubuntu 10.04

**witeshark17** · January 17th, 2011

I had the flicker end with the installation of 10.10 as well. As to GNOME, there was a GUI crash after trying some new themes, launchpad post here Other than that, it's all joy with 10.10

The flicker seems solved, saw a Launchpad e-mail that says a fix was released.

Hi

My ASUS k50ij (Ubuntu 10.04) started to randomly flickering 1 week ago.
Some guys suggested that killing gnome-power-manager solved the issue. But the problem is that in this case you can't manage the power. So, for some guys suffice this to run in terminal:

Code:

gnome-power-manager --no-daemon

I am trying the workaround for two hours now. No flickering for now.

Are you sure it's the same issue?

Well my laptop's monitor flickers randomly, especially when i change the monitor's brightness via buttons. For now, this "method" works for me. In the link i have posted above some guy managed to "overcome" the problem with downgrading the "udev".

I'm pretty sure the issue here was not about the use of display brightness buttons... best of luck!

Absolutely, I have the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04.

My VGA card is Intel 82852/855GM
Must include i915.modeset=1 in boot menu.
But this can only enable the graphic login. The screen still flickers from time to time. Thought this is a problem of Ubuntu.

After kernel upgrade to 2.6.37 or 2.6.39 no more flickering.
