Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
compiz:
Installed: 1:0.8.3+
Candidate: 1:0.8.3+
Version table:
*** 1:0.8.3+
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce Go 7600] (rev a1)
This is with the nvidia 185 drivers. However, the problem also happened in Jaunty with the 180 drivers and compiz 0.8.2.
When compiz is enabled, the screen flickers black every 5-10 seconds (the flicker lasts perhaps 1/10 second). This does not happen when compiz is disabled.

I'm having the same issue here:
compiz version:
1:0.8.4-ubuntu2
vga-controller according to device manager: G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300]
It's the GeForce Go 7300 I'm using with 185 nvidia drivers.
I'm encountering this problem with Karmic as well as with Jaunty.
This is really annoying because it makes compiz unusable for me.
