Title:
  unity-2d: flickers with xf86-video-fbdev on some machines

Status in unity-2d:
  Invalid
Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On my htcleo machine (HTC HD2 smart phone) unity-2d interface is flickering when using an unmodified natty arm image, rendering it unusable. Since other devices exist with the same SoC in htcleo (qsd8250) using same dsp => same framebuffer driver, this problem is likely to occur on several other devices.
  Thanks to Ricardo Salvetti (rsalvetti on irc.freenode.net #ubuntu-arm) I now have this problem solved locally:
  When I run the unity-2d-* binaries like this:
  "unity-2d-launcher -graphicssystem native" it works without any graphical glitch. To automate it I moved all /usr/bin/unity-2d-* to /usr/bin/unity-2d-*-bin and created scripts in /usr/bin/unity-2d-* with "unity-2d-*-bin -graphicssystem -native" for each binary. With that workaround I get a (partially, see below) working unity-2d session on my device with msm-fb framebuffer driver!

  Is there a way to configure this? If not, can we get one?

  Best regards and thanks again to Ricardo,

  Lukas
