The flickering happens when someone runs xrandr. This is a hardware issue as the problem happens even with when using the proprietary driver. This issue got fixed starting with the geforce 8. The desktop environment shouldn't poll on xrandr like that, so there is a bug on their side. On our side, the workaround suggested by Jan will be our "solution" until someone really wants to dig into this issue and see if there is a way to build a cache or something to avoid load detection. In any case, I'm tempted to close this bug as "WONTFIX" but I'll wait for other devs to agree before doing so.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
