Bug description:
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
did not experience 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
