I have a 8086:2a42 video card and successfully used the i915.powersave=0 option to stop the sync flashes.

I installed Andy Whitcroft's kernel and removed the i915.powersave=0 option yesterday. Everything continue to work fine ; no sync flashes at all.

@Peter : it seems that FBC means FrameBuffer Compression...
