Hi Christopher, If I remember correctly I got in touch with a kernel/X developer who pointed me in direction of a newer kernel. This fixed the flickering (which was really annoying). I am now on 12.04 and the flickering is gone. I'm not sure if you can mark this bug as corrected, but it was fixed in a newer kernel. I cannot find the answer email and it's been an ubuntu upgrade since then, so can't give you much help with which kernel I used (it was something with 999 in it, but that is close to what I remember) Thanks for following up.
