** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  lucid alpha 3.unr. On Acer 1810TZ.
  
  EVERYTHING except netbook-launcher flashes white several times a second
  (weird random-seeming blinking). The netbook-launcher displays
  perfectly, as does the background. Windows, the top panel etc. all flash
  insanely.
  
  The blinking stops (after a few seconds) when accessing Ubuntu menu (to
  log out, restart etc). It doesn't start again until a key is pressed.
  Any key. Shift, ctrl, alphanum... anything.
  
  The effect can be seen in the video below (same content, size about
  1MB).

  In attempting to report this bug, I established a wireless connection,
  which apparently made the problem much worse. The flickering no made
  keyboard input extremely slow and sometimes it would be completely
  impossible to write anything. Fortunately, gnome-settings-daemon crashed
  at one point (detailed in bug #532701 ), which caused the flickering to
  stop and input to work again.
  
  With the wireless connection active, the flickering couldn't be stopped
  by accessing the ubuntu menu and xorg was pegged at 50% (100% of 1
  core), sometimes more (multithreaded?).To complete this report, I needed
  to kill gnome-settings-daemon. (ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-intel-video was
  run while the flickering was present).
