    I am still having problems, despite all of the solutions offered (GRUB menu, xorg updates, etc). This is going to be a killer for me for Ubuntu - I cannot work on a computer with flickering at random times. It gives me a headache, and I can't give presentations. Hopefully someone figures this out soon.

    I think my graphics card is either 00:02.0 or 00:02.1, is that right? If it is, then there is no solution for me on the link you provided, if it's not how can I find out what it is?

    Thanks

    Hope that's of some use to you all.
