Title:
  terrible screen flicker in 11.10

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 11.10 I am getting terrible screen flicker with the
  opensourced ATI drivers. Every time I go to the desktop switcher I get
  crazy flickering across the screen. When I go into my lenses I get
  horrible flickering.

  I tried installing gnome-shell to see if there would be flickering
  there, and I still get occasional flickering, but not nearly as much.
  I even tried install Kubuntu, but it is also suffering from horrible
  flickering.

  I believe the problem has to do with xorg, during the early parts in
  alpha development I didn't have a flickering problem, but towards the
  end and now it is extremely bad.

  Also, when I install the fglrx proprietary drivers the flickering goes
  away (though the window responsibleness is horrible). Also, I am still
  having the issue when uninstalling fglrx it breaks my entire desktop.

  I am running Ubuntu 11.10 x64, on an acer aspire 5553 with a Mobility
  Radeon HD 4200 series card.

  Will we be seeing Catalyst 11.9 or 11.10 at all?
