Comment 49 for bug 89860

I have a nx6110 and this issue would come and go and usually running "sudo echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS" would help with the issue but not always. After having the lid closed for a while the system would be almost unusable as the mouse would shake and any application would "flicker". A reboot would fix the issue (is this windows?)

I just updated to linux-image-2.6.27-3-generic, rebooted, and now the lid button doesn't work at all. I suppose that would stop the flicker though. I will continue to monitor.
