gdm keeps flckering when using the nvidia 180 drivers

[John Vivirito]

Binary package hint: gdm

For some reason gdm will flicker.
Flicker == go black for a second or 2) i couldnt think of a better word.
Im not sure if nvidia or gdm is to blame so i will add both to this report.

not a gdm issue and 19 bug emails is enough spamming there

Seb:
I didnt expect apport-collect to give that much info sorry.
Is this possibly a duplicate of bug #401441

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This is a duplicate of that bug. I noticed yesterday that it happened when i wasn't typing. Marking as such.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]
