Hi,
I'm using Lenovo Ideapad Y460 laptop. My computer performs well at
most time. But sometimes my screen flashs about every 1 seconds.
Each flash will interrupt pull down menu and ibus IME input window.
The xev tool shows that each flash comes with the following events:
Expose event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
