Comment 26 Alex Deucher 2010-07-19 19:39:44 UTC
Is it the laptop panel (LVDS) that shakes or an external monitor like VGA or DVI?  Make sure your kernel has this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=267364ac17f6474c69b03034340f769b22f46105

If that doesn't help, does setting radeon.new_pll=0 on the kernel command line help?
Comment 27 Arsen Kostenko 2010-07-20 01:35:26 UTC
In my case, the laptop panel (native laptop monitor) is shaking. No other monitors were attached. 

At the moment of writing neither kernel patching, nor setting "radeon.new_pll=0" was tried. I will post back once some more info emerges.
