** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  My screen will flash black repeatedly and the mouse and sound will
  freeze.  Sometimes it will only flash a couple times and come back to
  normal, but often it will keep flashing many times and remain frozen
  until x crashes.  While it's frozen I can't ctrl-alt-f1 to another
  terminal.  I've only noticed it happening when I'm using firefox, but
  that's the vast majority of my computer use so I'm not sure that's
  relevant.  Sometimes when it comes back from a flashing episode the
  window will be scrambled to some extent.  There's no specific event that
  I'm aware of that triggers this.
  
  I tried to include everything you'd need in this report, please let me
  know if there's more that's necessary.  (Unfortunately I'd have to wait
  until it happens again to gather that, and it's unpredictable)
