[Bug 550141] [NEW] screen flickers/shimmers for half a second from side to side ATI Radeon 2600 HD

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This can be reproduced using compiz. Please enable the water effect and
put in onto a rain delay of 500 (shift+F9). In about 10 seconds you
should see the screen dancing around and flickering. Hard to describe.
Can't make screen cast as I also have an xorg slowdown issue.

Compiz is just a method to get this bug to show up again and again. This
is also happening when I am using notifications launching wine and other
general use of the desktop.

Also I am hearing a clicking sound from the screen and sometimes getting
the message that the screen source disappeared and just reconnected also
the screen is going blank sometimes.
