Britt Yazel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given you have already done this on a prior release, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Every time I go to the desktop switcher I get crazy flickering across the screen. When I go into my lenses I get horrible flickering. I tried installing gnome-shell to see if there would be flickering there, and I still get occasional flickering, but not nearly as much. I even tried install Kubuntu, but it is also suffering from horrible flickering. I believe the problem has to do with xorg, during the early parts in alpha development I didn't have a flickering problem, but towards the end and now it is extremely bad. Also, when I install the fglrx proprietary drivers the flickering goes away (though the window responsibleness is horrible). Also, I am still having the issue when uninstalling fglrx it breaks my entire desktop. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 x64, on an acer aspire 5553 with a Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series card. Will we be seeing Catalyst 11.9 or 11.10 at all?
