Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

>From what I've read this has been a lingering issue since somewhere
around the 9.xx release.  I just wanted to let you all know I still see
this in 10.04 and 10.10.  The screen will flicker severely after about a
day of use and resolves for most of the day.  I've noticed that the
keyboard will not respond as well during flickers and letters go missing
when flickers happen mid typing.

This is the first bug I've submitted so I hope I've included enough
info.
