Description Andreas Schildbach 2009-06-13 05:36:08 UTC

On Karmic alpha 2, using version 2:2.7.99.1+git20090602.ec2fde7c-0ubuntu2 of the -intel driver on a Dell Latitude X1 / i915GMS with KMS enabled,

the mouse pointer flickers very noticably while it is being animated. I've even seen some corruption flashing up in the pointer image, though this is nothing permanent.

The same issue is present on Fedora 11.

I can confirm it on Alpha-5 of karmic.
