Binary package hint: xorg

I have a LG M227WD widescreen monitor and an integrated ati X1250-based graphics in my Gigabyte MA69GM-S2H motherboard; monitor and graphics are connected through an HDMI cable.

Whem I am in ubuntu (9.04, fully updated) my monitor blinks to black very often (usually every 3 seconds, but sometimes it blinks even 3-4 times in fast succession) and remains black for about 1 second (again, sometimes it stays black for way more seconds).

On the same machine I have a windows xp installation that works just fine.
Problem seems not to arise in gdm login screen.
I have no xorg.conf file.

Please, consider that this is rendering the ubuntu side of my machine nearly unusable.
