Comment 35 for bug 41994

To add to the above, something else has changed, I now intermittently see a screen flicker. It's like some application wants to change my screen modes, starts to and then is immediately undone. lshal -m shows nothing when this is happens. Not sure where to look.

I am wondering if I need to just manually hack the xorg.conf file and somehow take gnome's handling of this out of the loop. So I am going to start here at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy
