Have you tried disabling Compiz?

[Chris Crisafulli (itnet7)]

Thanks for submitting the bug in effort to try and make ubuntu better. Can you please share with us the version of Ubuntu your using? With you reporting that this is an ATI AGP card, this is a desktop with an added video card, right? What games are you running where you're having issues? Are these natively installed games, or other games installed using Wine, Cedega, or Crossover Games? What version of xserver-xorg-video-ati does your system show as installed?

"8.12" shows that this is the fglrx blob... and there's a dupe.

If you disable Compiz and it still flickers, then this bug cannot be a duplicate of bug #179042. If you mean tearing instead of flickering then it could be a duplicate of bug #303697.

opengl video output is tearing or flickering ? or is that the same ?
also, does this happen with pci express two mine is agp?

opengl support in drivers is buggy in ati hd drivers i tried this link witch works
but not as good as opengl video output it uses X11 video output for video apps

[hapubun (sdeal2)]

creat a shortcut to dsp1 set the name to dsp and set the premissions on the shortcut in folder
gksudo nautilus /dev

to root owner readonly audio read&write other readonly and it fixes it!!! its caused buy ati's audio on video card but if u had usb speakers it would fix without doing the folowing steps! reboot u should hear a sound on login screen to know it works!!! because dsp is known as default in the os but when more than one audio device its set to dsp1 !!!!!!!! and ect.it's really a ATI thing that i found that was diffrent from Nvidia card and chipsets!!!! but allso ALI chipsets are owned by nvidia now days but my problem is from the onboard 5.1 audio set as default out put for the ATI video Card!!!!for hd video dvi hdmi !!! i fix the prob so i hope this helps some one ?????????? dvd programs Lindvd
