The display flickers several times per minute after the 2.6.32-24.42
kernel update. This is extremely tirying for the user.

linux (2.6.32-24.42) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Upstream Kernel Changes ]

  * (pre-stable) drm/i915: add PANEL_UNLOCK_REGS definition
    - LP: #561802, #578673
  * (pre-stable) drm/i915: make sure eDP panel is turned on
    - LP: #578673
  * (pre-stable) drm/i915: make sure we shut off the panel in eDP configs
    - LP: #578673


These package changes correspond to our hardware, an Intel graphics chipset.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Dell Device 0410
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 35
	Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
	Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
	I/O ports at 60b0 [size=8]
	Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable+
	Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
	Capabilities: [a4] PCIe advanced features <?>
	Kernel driver in use: i915
	Kernel modules: i915

I'll try to test with the latest mainline kernel as soon as I get time.

Booting on 2.6.32-23 (still installed) instead makes the problem go
away.

Cheers,

Michael.
