Bug Description
Binary package hint: kwin
After yesterday's upgrade in Intrepid, the whole KDE desktop is flickering - vertical lines very briefly show up on the screen about every 10 seconds, which makes desktop usage really distracting. The flickering effect is hard to describe, but it occurs on the whole screen and only when running KDE 4. I'm using the open source radeonhd driver with Radeon HD 3850. I tagged the bug to be in kwin, but it might as well be in libplasma2 or kdebase or in any other package that provides KDE 4 basic technologies.

I have same problem (same KDE4 version as above).
My configuration is HP nx7400 + LG 226WTQ. External monitor is connected though D-Sub.
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Currently I'm using KDE3 where this configuration works properly.
