[Bug 538648] Re: Problem with X in Lucid on Lenovo T500

 

Thank you for that. Now have you tried booting with i915.powersave=0
added to the kernel command line in grub (after it says quiet splash) to
see if it fixes your issue or not? That will help narrowing down the
problem.

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
  
  When I first installed Lucid on my T500 I believe everything seemd to be
  fine with the display.  Recently though the screen has started giving
  flashes -- as though there was some form of sync problem for the
  display.  The flashes are of irregular frequency and occurrence.  I
  haven't yet seen any pattern to the behaviour.  They are however
  exceptionally annoying.
  
  I believe I  am using the Intel chipset graphics device -- I am not
  actually aware of how to switch to using the alternate graphics
  hardware, but I am told it is not worth bothering with, so I haven't.
  
  I am using the Compiz window manager so I guess the problem could be
  there rather than with Xorg.
  
  There is no xorg.conf file so there is no overide of the default
  behaviour.
  
  I am not sure what programs to run to give useful output for this problem.  I have attached the current Xorg log file.
