Update : Micheal -> Glad that worked for you, unfortunately my X wouldn't start back up with the free driver so I rolled back(I didn't try very hard to get it working since im relatively new to linux and i don't have that much extra time).
As for the problem itself, I am quite certain it resides souly in the fglrx driver. I updated to the new version few days ago and not only did it not fix the problem, it made it worst (well sort of). The effect remains the same but now it flickers even with Compiz off (Metacity instead). Although this may be attributed to my failed attempt to switch video drivers. -- [fglrx] screen flickering when using OpenGL apps with compiz enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219009 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
