I ran a "apport-collect 368946" to provide you with some more information.
This is a really nasty bugger. I have been playing around with it for a while now but could not find any 'workaround' so far. I reactivated CRTL + ALT + Backspace to kill X to see if it helps, but it does not. It even flickers in the Logon Screen. So I tried to kill the gnome-power-manager process, that did it for the logon screen. But as soon as I logon in a gain a new gnome-power-manager process is started and the flickering starts again. Killing this new one does oddly not help any more, the screen keeps flickering and after a while I get an osd-notify that the configuration for CRT 58 could not be set properly and it keeps on flickering. For me the flickering happens every time I close the lid. The only solution I found so far is rebooting the laptop. I hope this helps in the investigation. Please let me know if you need any more information. /schaze -- [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368946 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
