Bug Description
Hello!
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 with an Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid installed. This works very good, but there is a problem while showing fast motions on the screen (e.g. in videos). This causes the image to flicker: Horizontal line(s) disrupt the image. This problem can be reproduced with the onboard Intel GM45/X4500 and the external ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 card. An external monitor attached to the VGA port shows the same image. I tried diverse video players (xine, gnome-mplayer, vlc etc.), but always the same flickering.
Initially I reproduced this problem with the preinstalled Microsoft Windows Vista Business, but an update of the graphic driver solved the problem for both cards. So I do not think this is a graphic card issue.
I attached the lspci and lshw dump as well as the Xorg.0.log file.
Best regards
