This may be a minor software issue, but I, sadly, cannot use Compiz until this is fixed (the flicker is very distracting to me). Here is a discussion with others who want this issue fixed: here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8660769
Here are some details of my situation (copied from my post on the above forums): I have an ATI Radeon HD 4200 512MB (embedded on Gigabyte motherboard) using the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver in Ubuntu 9.10. Here is one way to reproduce the blip: Open two application windows and maximize one (e.g., maximize Firefox and open a non-maximized terminal on top). ALT-TAB rotates which window is up front, which works just fine while ALT is held down. While still holding ALT, bring the larger window up front (on top), then release ALT. For me, this causes a momentary (but very distracting) blip, when I can see both application windows before the front window is redrawn. Without any knowledge of Compiz, my guess is that it is performing the ALT-TAB visual manipulation in some kind of graphic buffer. When ALT is released, the "fake" image buffer goes away, briefly revealing the "real" desktop, before the actual application windows can be commanded to restack themselves. -- flickers windows when alt-tabbing on intel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325108 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
