Is the driver being run as a host or guest when the flickering happens? If it's a guest, It sounds like it may be a virtualbox issue. With the latest driver bits from git master, the following option may help: Option "DisplayPriority" "HIGH" in the device section of your config. (In reply to comment #3) > Is the driver being run as a host or guest when the flickering happens?

Sorry for the wait: I was really busy.
Setting that options hasn't helped.
I've tried to disable DPMS (sudo xset -dpms) and I've seen only a couple of blinks in the past three hours.
So without virtualbox no problem ? I am not sure i understand the setup you said you were testing git snapshot under virtualbox ? So how is the computer setup: -host windows/linux ? which version ? which driver ? which driver version ? -guest windows/linux ? which version ? which driver ? First of all: I've tested "xset -dpms" for a few days and I can say that isn't working. > So without virtualbox no problem ? I'm experiencing the same problem with and without virtualbox running. With virtualbox running, the frequency of the problem is much higher. > I am not sure i understand the setup you said you were testing git snapshot > under virtualbox ?

I'm running a fully updated ubuntu karmic (virtualbox-ose 3.0.6, xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.12.99+git20090825.fc74e119) as the host with a windows xp guest (fully updated and with virtualbox-guest-additions 3.0.6). Please note that the whole screen blinks, not only the guest. can you try with ati from git master? Specifically commit 66b194a78c470cb3978f310828dd96c3f3e96944. Closing due to lack of feedback. |
