Still no luck. All workarounds don't help in my case.

Title:
  Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As requested in Bug #1310633 I'm opening a new bug.

  With a previous version of Ubuntu I already had this flickering. With
  additional options for the kernel module I was able to fix the
  flickering.

  options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
  NVreg_Mobile=3 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=0

  With version 14.04 and the nvidia-331 (331.38-0ubuntu7) driver the
  flickering reappeared although the line is still present in
  options.conf.

  Using modprobe --resolve-alias nvidia I found the correct driver
  module name which in my case is nvidia_331. Changing the module name
  in options.conf to nvidia_331 X doesn't start anymore. Removing the
  NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles option X is starting again, but does not solve
  the issue.
