[Bug 681054] Re: screen repeatedly goes black for a fraction of a second

 

If you do rule out a client app, or otherwise want to continue exploring
it as an X issue specifically, here's the next step.

We're going to be moving natty to its new X stack within the next week
or two.  Currently this stack is available in xorg-edgers, and should
match almost exactly what will soon be in natty.

I'd like to have you attempt to reproduce your issue with this new
stack.  If it still occurs with that stack, we can then take the the bug
upstream, or approach the kernel team or other appropriate groups about
it.

The PPA is available at:  https://launchpad.net/~xorg-
edgers/+archive/ppa

Here's a simple way to install:
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade

Then reboot your system to get to the new bits.

If you want to go back to stock Ubuntu, there is a corresponding ppa-purge tool:
  sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
