["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Francesco Usseglio, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

  After the last upgrade of my Lucid 10.04 i reboot. At start the video looks good, but after a while (at the login screen) the video start to flicker. The flicker is getting worse and worse till it's impossible to read anything.
  I have tried to use vesa driver and the video is ok but very slow
  I have tried to use xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd the video is better but it's very very slow.
  My notebook has a  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]

  I have also tried fglrx but it doesn't work
