Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
My laptop screen (1680x1050, HP Compaq 6715b, AMD RS690M/X1250, AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60) flickers when CPU frequency is at 800MHz (powersave or ondemand mode). Flickering occurs when screen content changes, for example switching between windows, moving windows, website with flash animation or scrolling in terminal window.
Flickering occurs no matter whether desktop effects are enabled/disabled, or DRI is enabled-
Flickering can be significantly reduced by setting CPU frequency to min 1600MHz or by reducing screen resolution (over display preferences).
Found another bug-report with the same issue:
