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

 

** Description changed:

  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.
