correction:  laptop is toshiba satelite A215-S4697 AMD Turion x2 1024MB
SDRAM

further:

1.  installed mint 17.1:  same results - flickers on live dvd as well as installed
2.  re-installed (k)ubuntu 14.04:  systems did not flicker
3.  updated (k)ubuntu 14.04 to (k)ubuntu 14.04.1:  systems returned to flicker
4.  14.04 uses kernel 13.0.24;  and 14.04.1 uses kernel 13.0.43

solutions:

1.  ask ubuntu to correct in future kernels,  or
2.  send me a solution for future use of distros using kernel 13.0.43,  so that i can fix

Title:
  screen flicker in ubuntu 14.04.1 and derivatives

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. my screen flickers on all ubuntu 14.04.1 distro versions, linux
  mint 17.1 'cinamon', lxle 64 bit, guadalinex v9 32 bit, etc.

  2. it flickers on the mint 17.1 'cinamon' installation disk - but it
  is stable on mint 17.0 'mate' installed

  3. i can cure it by accesing the 'recovery section' of the 'multi-
  boot' system: but it is NOT 'persistent'

  4. how can i fix this, using the 'cli': to make the fix 'permanent'

  the laptop is an older 'toshiba - amd - athlon x2'
