Title:
Compaq Laptop Screen flickers with Ubuntu 10.04, when on battery power
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi,
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32 Bit on my Compaq Presario CQ40
616TU laptop. My screen flickers (Horizontal Line flicks) in few second
interval when running on battery power or when I lower screen brightness. This
is really annoying and hard to work.
Here are the details:
1. Issue occurs when running on battery power or low screen brightness and is
reduced(with a little flickering at bottom of the screen) or almost gone when
connected to AC power adapter.
2. The screen also flickers while booting. However it is maximum on battery
power.
3. I use Compaq CQ40 616-TU laptop with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500
graphics.
4. I tried Mandrive One Spring 10 and also experienced the same problem.
5. My graphics is "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M".
The bellow link is the specification for my laptop.

I was using windows& before but never notice this problem.
I changed the Grub file and added i915.powersaver=0 but it did not
work. However if I use the laptop with high brightness the problem is
reduced (with a little flickering at bottom of the screen) or gone.
I think it is a bug in linux kernel.
Thanks
Bishnu
