[Bug 1314367] Re: Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared
I'm using the nvidia driver which is included in the 15.04 version:
340.76-0ubuntu1
ii nvidia-340 340.76-0ubuntu1 amd64 NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.76
ii nvidia-340-uvm 340.76-0ubuntu1 amd64 NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module
ii nvidia-opencl-icd-340 340.76-0ubuntu1 amd64 NVIDIA OpenCL ICD
ii nvidia-prime 0.7 amd64 Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime
ii nvidia-settings 346.35-0ubuntu1 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
I haven't tried any other drivers so far. What I did is try the
workaround with options.conf described in the first post. This
permanently solved the issue in older versions of Ubuntu. Now the screen
goes black and does not boot if the options are enabled.

Title:
Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
As requested in Bug #1310633 I'm opening a new bug.
With a previous version of Ubuntu I already had this flickering. With
additional options for the kernel module I was able to fix the
flickering.
options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
NVreg_Mobile=3 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=0
With version 14.04 and the nvidia-331 (331.38-0ubuntu7) driver the
flickering reappeared although the line is still present in
options.conf.
Using modprobe --resolve-alias nvidia I found the correct driver
module name which in my case is nvidia_331. Changing the module name
in options.conf to nvidia_331 X doesn't start anymore. Removing the
NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles option X is starting again, but does not solve
the issue.
