We installed lubuntu xenial (LTS up to 2021) on our public computers, which works well with old laptpos.

Abiword flickers hard on an IBM T43 with at least one letter inserted to a page. New documents, do not flicker (page content is updated dozens of times during a second). It is however not related to scrolling.

The same is for the artful version (3.0.2-4).

$ lspci -k|grep VGA -A3
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV370/M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]
        Subsystem: IBM RV370/M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]
        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeonfb, radeon

Is this related or should this go to a new report?
