[intrepid] Screen flickers when loading applications |
Screen flickers when loading applications |

I'm using a NVidia GeForce 8600GT video card and experience problems when using the nv and nouveau xorg drivers. When I use the vesa driver, the problem is not present. During login and whenever an application is launched my entire screen flashes black repeatedly. I have been unable to test the proprietary driver against this problem: the nvidia-glx-new driver module fails to load and the official installer file refuses to run (says the kernel is incompatible due to having Xen support). I had none of these problems in Hardy (tested nv and nvidia drivers). |

Problem has happened with both Intrepid Alpha1 and Alpha2 releases.
Alpha1:
nv - flicker problem
nouveau - flicker problem
vesa - no problems
nvidia - failed to load module
Alpha2:
nv - flicker problem
nouveau - not tested
vesa - no problems
nvidia - no problems |

I can confirm this happens on -nv with two monitors attached (but not set up for dual-head).
I've also seen flickering on -intel on a laptop, although it's character differs from the -nv flickering I'm seeing, so not sure it's exactly the same problem. Possibly...
I'm closing out the xserver-xorg-video-nv task since we don't need it against both. I'll also move the xorg bug to the server since it's probably a server issue.
For people seeing flickering on hardy, you're almost certainly seeing something unrelated, since we use different versions of xserver and the drivers there.

According to the upstream bug, this is a problem in gtk, not in X. Reassigning package.
"If I'm not mistaken, EDID transfers are done in-band and thus will cause the
monitor to lose sync. There's really no way around it. From the recent thread
on the mailing list, it sounds like the solution is to fix GTK to not rely so
heavily on calls to XRRGetScreenResources()." |

gtk has been changed to not call the expensive xorg api, if you have an issue that's a different one |
