[Bug 752493] [NEW] 11.04 Beta: Screen flicker and horizontal bands every 30 seconds

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

The flickering occurs continuously in both the login screen and after
login.  This problem occurred under 10.10 (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/666441), but it was every 8-10
seconds.  This problem does not occur in a dual-booted Windows
environment.  Changing resolution and refresh rate does not appear to
affect the bug.

The monitor is a Samsung 763MB CRT.
