[Launchpad Bug Tracker <666441@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I was running fine on ubuntu 10.04 and decided to take the plunge and
upgrade to ubuntu 10.10.

Ever since I have upgraded, I am getting a screen flicker every 6-7
seconds. This is MOST annoying.

I have tried installing the AMD proprietary video driver and using the
default driver.

Both have the same problem:

Can someone please help me?

If not, is there a way to go back to 10.04 without doing a complete re-
install?

Thanks,
Mike
