[Bug 260073] Re: Laptop screen flickers when opening lid
I am experiencing the same problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with the Intel 915 card. I'm running Jaunty 9.04. Every time I open the lid I see the flickering/bouncing for 5-10 seconds before it starts working. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) If there is anything I can do to help troubleshoot this problem please let me know. -- Laptop screen flickers when opening lid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

J.Canfield, can you test on Jaunty to see if the problem still exists there? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- Laptop screen flickers when opening lid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same behavior here, Inspiron 6000 fresh install of ubuntu 8.10.

I've got an Inspiron 6000 that shows this behavior. I tried the test .debs above, and they do not solve the issue. J Canfield's solution of switching the driver to i810 doesn't work for me either. # lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) My xorg.conf file is empty, although the behavior is the same if I use the output for "X -configure". Output from X -configure is attached. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf.new" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21448090/xorg.conf.new -- Laptop screen flickers when opening lid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[This is an automatic notice.] We'd like to forward your bug upstream, however upstream requires that you first test it against their newer driver code. To save you the effort of building the driver from source, we've built packages for the driver and its new dependencies. So you have a couple options: 1. Download and test .debs for intrepid, from: https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive -or- 2. Download and test the Jaunty alpha-2 (or newer) Live CD, (which includes a beta of the new xserver 1.6 as well). See http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ for ISOs Thanks ahead of time! You can simply reply to this email to report your findings. P.S., if you wish to forward your bug upstream yourself, please follow these directions to do so: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- Laptop screen flickers when opening lid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same laptop (Inspiron 6000) with the i915 intel video card. I'm running Intrepid Alpha 6, and I have a problem identical to the one the OP described. In addition to a bug in Xorg, could this bug be specifically in the intel video driver? I've attached the log for Xorg. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18021297/Xorg.0.log -- Laptop screen flickers when opening lid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

"In the future, please don't set the status to "in progress" if the project has not a) confirmed the bug and b) is actually working on the "problem". (Note that this policy may vary among projects - I am specifically speaking for the Awn project in this case.)" Yeah more than understand that but I was hoping that someone for any of the projects speak up. Thanks alot? Well, I was actually working with a 3rd party who was not online at the time. So I will change that. Sorry...! I do appreciate AWN and I could not pinpoint this problem to the project except that there were a few occasions that AWN was the only object flashing. So onto the fix; It was a damn Xorg issue. I just had to change the driver in the Xorg.conf file from "Intel" to "i810". I will notify the team involved with that driver.

[Bug 260073] Re: Laptop screen flickers when opening lid
As an Awn developer, i fail to see how Awn (or the GNOME main menu, for that matter) is making your entire laptop screen flicker. If anything, it seems like an X problem, if anything. If you could specifically point to something Awn does that causes this behavior, e.g. when Awn is started or stopped, that would be appreciated. If you cannot find anything of this nature, feel free to set the status for Awn to "Invalid". In the future, please don't set the status to "in progress" if the project has not a) confirmed the bug and b) is actually working on the "problem".

I just upgraded to Hardy and the previous release did not do this.

Only a few icons on the awn toolbar flicker (some + don't) and only a few icons on the gnome-menu flicker (some don't). I am + at a loss here.
