The blinking in my case had to do with the TV out being active, adding a monitor section and referring to it in the screen seems to turn that behaviour off:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "tv" Option "Ignore" "true" EndSection Section "Screen" Option "monitor-TV" "tv" EndSection But I agree, i810 seemed to work a lot better on my R52 ThinkPad as well. -- no X after upgrade with intel controller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
