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.

Hi Christopher,
If I remember correctly I got in touch with a kernel/X developer who
pointed me in direction of a newer kernel. This fixed the flickering
(which was really annoying). 
I am now on 12.04 and the flickering is gone. I'm not sure if you can
mark this bug as corrected, but it was fixed in a newer kernel.

I cannot find the answer email and it's been an ubuntu upgrade since
then, so can't give you much help with which kernel I used (it was
something with 999 in it, but that is close to what I remember)

Thanks for following up.

Trond

Title:
  [RV530] screen flickers in lucid lynx [Needs pll quirk]

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Starting as ubuntu (lucid lynx beta out of the box) boot screen
  appears, the entire screen begins flickering with horizantal lines
  across. The image sometimes jumps up and down making it very
  distracting and sometimes impossible to read the screen at all. The
  screen was all but illegible last boot.
