Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Whenever I run "xrandr" or "xrandr -q" just to see a list of available resolutions, the screen flickers.
Also, the process itself is very slow. The execution of xrandr takes several seconds. It seems this shouldn't happen, just to show a few resolutions.
To post a comment you must log in.
Furthermore, it seems that program that uses RandR makes the screen flicker - tested with krandrtray.
This makes me think the problem is with the X server (driver), not the individual programs.
