Comment 49 for bug 278471

I did not get flickers but mouse jumps (and video playback stutters, most probably similar to jartsa's comment above) on an i945. Discovered the relation to this bug while writing (and researching) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/296481 - which also suggests that the timespan is an exact 10 seconds - there must be a corresponding timer in the KRandR kded service which triggers that XRRGetScreenResources call mentioned by Tormod Volden above.

Let's see if I'm able to do something about that...
