Comment 131 for bug 1288747

I can confirm this bug with all (official Ubuntu + xorg-edgers PPA) Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 14.04
(current 343.22 in use with GeForce GTX 570 ).

In my case there was only one solution that was really working so far by experimenting without patch:
nvidia-settings
-Disabling the Allow Flipping option
-set Image Settings to High Performance
-set PowerMizer Settings to Prefer Maximum Performance

I also installed the patch and testing it at the moment. It seems that 95% of flickering issues are solved even if I cant say that for sure after my short experience ( some hours ).

Thank You very much for your great work Christopher!
