Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

I am running Karmic Koala (9.10).
When I am using a software to chat (like xchat or kvirc), the screen becomes black for a second each "N" seconds. It seems that the frequence depends on the size of the window (per ex. when maximised the screen turns to black each 2 seconds).

I get the same problem even disabling compiz (setting in appearence "no
effects").

I would like a stable image and stay in a Linux environment. I didn't
have this problem with Hardy Heron (8.04). Never tested Intrepid (8.10).
I have found this problem, also in Jaunty (9.04).

My graphic card is this:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series (Primary)
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series (Secondary)

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
CheckboxCommand: xrandr
CheckboxData: Le modalità rilevate sembrano corrette, tuttavia, usando software di chat, lo schermo diventa nero ad intermittenza. La frequenza con la quale capita sembra dipendere dalla dimensione della finestra stessa (massimizzata, ogni 2 secondi circa)
CheckboxDescription:
 Nel sistema sono stati rilevati i seguenti schermi e le seguenti modalità video:

 Risulta corretto?
