Sorry folks, but as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 I'm marking
this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now
unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release
please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the
16.04 development cycle.

[fglrx] Unity flickering on window updates with fglrx and VBO enabled

Bug description:
[Description]
When hovering over icons on unity or using an application which does a lot of
re-drawing there is significant flickering and graphic corruption. This only
happens in 12.10 downgrading to 12.04 fixes the issue.
[Work Around]
unity --replace sometimes fixes the issue (ie you have to do it two or three
times, but eventually it does fix it and the issues doesn't re-appear for that
desktop session).
[Easiest way to force the flicker]
I have found the easiest way to force a flicker is to drag a window frame to
the right hand side of the screen so the yellow bounding box appears on the
right half of the screen, when this happens a lot of flickering occurs.
[Possibly duplicates]
I've found a few bugs with similar problems, however these are for different
versions so wasn't sure if they were duplicates or not bug #963093 ; bug
