Thanks for the attention. Upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13917 I checked at home and the flicker is no better with that package btw. In fact I can clearly see it the second I enter text VT for the first time.

Could you please report this on bugs.freedesktop.org ?

[Bug 175243] Re: screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon)
I tried xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.197+git20080103.c6522088-0ubuntu0tormod_i386.deb which I believe is the latest. I believe it looked somewhat better (albeit hard to judge b/c I am at work with very different lighting), but definitely I think the text mode looked better although there was still a little flicker there. However, when going back to X from text mode the vertical flicker was still noticeable, which I also checked with the plain X command after killing gdm. Let me know if and which details more you need with this new package.

Thanks for your report. Can you also try a test package from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge ? There were some changes lately that might have fixed this. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Tormod Volden (tormodvolden) Status: New => Incomplete -- screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 175243] Re: screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon)
Ok update about my xrandr update this effect is not permanent although lasts for quite a bit. Maybe flicker starts again after display gets powered off (by ACPI) not sure though of exact timing.

[Bug 175243] Re: screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon)
Interesting fix I discovered quite serendipitously. Probably ends up resetting whatever register is not reset otherwise: xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 _immediately_ fixes the X flicker (but not the one in the VT if you switch to a VT) even with nothing hooked up to S-video. I will see if I can narrow down any easier xrandr fixes/workarounds for this bug.

[Bug 175243] Re: screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon)
Tried more stuff: * This version 1:6.7.196+git20071210-0ubuntu0tormod still has the bug * Adding either a Disable "glx" or Disable "dri" or both to a Section "Modules" (and rebooting with each change to make sure) does not fix the bug (and I checked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure the modules were really disabled) * Took a picture of the problem on a plain vanilla X (of course this is after a change to TTY) this is best visible: You can see a bunch of horizontal lines on the monitor, these are basically moving up and down all the time, so I'm assuming its an issue where when we change to a text VT some vertical refresh rate register is changed incorrectly and never changed back. Hope this helps.

Here are the logs from both versions. In both I basically log in, switch to VT 1 (in which case the flicker starts, yes in the VT 1 in the new version but not the old of xserver-xorg-video-ati), then switch back to VT 7. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log.1:6.6.3-2ubuntu6" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10837298/Xorg.0.log.1%3A6.6.3-2ubuntu6 -- screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 175243] Re: screen flickers only if text tty entered (radeon)
So this is a regression. I can fix this (no more flicker on changing to a console/tty; then flicker in both text consoles and X when changing back and even if you restart X) by installing 1:6.6.3-2ubuntu6 in gutsy so this must be a regression in 1:6.7.195-1ubuntu2 (I had to restart the computer to get rid of the flicker after installing but then no more flicker after changing to consoles; yay!).
