[Bug 289216] Re: Dual-head Radeon Mobility X1600 flickers
** Description changed: After a fresh Intrepid install everything is working great on the Mobility X1600 this iMac has. But, as I had a monitor I used while in OS X beside it, I tried to get dual-head working, which before xrandr was nearly impossible to any satisfaction. In Intrepid it just worked, bravo! So, my issue now is that there seems to be two sources of flicker with dual-head that do not appear in normal single head, with this setup: * In some areas of the screen the mouse will strobe or flicker with what looks like noise... I thought it might be one-off issues with the mouse pointer image, but I couldn't find any rhyme or reason to it. Other parts of the screen the pointer works just fine. This happens only in extended desktop. * Occasionally, the window in focus will blink outside of its bounds, as if not contained for a split second. This happens with both mirrored and extended desktop. Again, they seem to be isolated to just dual-head mode, so I haven't been able to reproduce them without it.

Option AccelMethod EXA doesn't seem to have any effect.
