As long as I use desktop normally (chat, browser, konsole) everything is *almost fine. When I start any OpenGL application (not only glxgears), screen starts to flicker.

I've created some poor quality movie to show what happens. If better quality is needed, please let me know. I'll borrow some video camera then.

[*] almost fine = screen flickers very rarely, once for a few minutes

Oops, I was too fast reporting this. It was my first day of using openSUSE 11.0 Beta 1. After switching to radeonrandr12 *and* rebooting it seems to work fine. I hope this issue won't come back to me. Sorry for unneeded report..
