update: seems to work better with the previous nvidia 173 drivers. Testing this for a few hours now and didn't encounter flickering yet (karmic).
I've had the feeling that this issue only occurs when using programs like firefox or openoffice where there's a lot of scrolling. In my case there's no flickering on the blank desktop but when using the mentioned apps. -- Screen flickers every 5-10 seconds with compiz and nvidia https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444967 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
