Unfortunately I was wrong, I still get these flashes even with xserver- xorg-video-intel 2.7. They seemed to get better but today they are back. Even with metacity window manager.
Yesterday I even installed the 2.26.30 kernel for a while but I couldn't adjust any brightness settings in that one (hence no flashes). -- [i965] Wierd backlight brightness behaviour looks like flashes on Amilo Si 2636 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356510 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
