[Bug 572073] [NEW] Screen flicker during content update, especially in Firefox

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

I'm using Nouveau video driver for my NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
video-card with Ubuntu 10.04. Screen flickers frequently, especially
when I'm loading pages with many images/banners in Firefox.  I tried to
use proprietary NVIDIA driver, but it behaves itself even worse.

I'm eager to help fix this bug so please let me know what I can do for
it. :) Maybe there's some workaround.
