Hey peterbe,
You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.
If it's solved in the

My problem was with the live CD (I have FreeBSD taking up the whole
disk drive, and don't want to install Ubuntu in this system). There
doesn't seem to be an easy way to choose the desktop, since the system
auto-logins to Gnome when it starts up, without showing a login screen
(unless there is a
I tried classic desktop (no effects) (at login) and the fglrx driver,
but I still have flashes a few times per minute.
Is this going to be solved with the real Natty release, or is there a
workaround, or should I just stay with Ubuntu 10.x (which shows no
flashes)?

I tried the “drm_kms_helper.poll=0” as a kernel boot parameter, but the
screen still flashes.

From your logs it looks like the problem is that something is probing
the VGA output repeatedly, and you're the lucky owner of some hardware
that flickers when probed (it's not uncommon).
You could check this by adding “drm_kms_helper.poll=0” on the kernel
command line; that should disable

Here is some information regarding the FreeBSD installation on the same
machine, which works using the vesa driver:
[peter@compaq /etc/X11]$ uname -a
FreeBSD compaq.belew 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 02:41:51
UTC 2011
My next experiment will be to boot in text mode, add an xorg.conf file
based on the one originally generated by the PC-BSD live CD, and see if
that works with the vesa driver. The problem is clearly with the driver
for the nVidia chipset, which is apparently essentially the same as in
Fedora 14.
This is a Compaq Presario SR1000 system (System Number EX325-AA-ABA)
