screen flicker problem. linux newbie (3 months). dri on. irqpoll on.   Message List

Hi there.

I'm trying for some time now to get my screen to show details correctly but I
haven't found yet an appropriate solution.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 on Amilo A7600- CY26.
The problem is simple - the screen flickers. I get black lines on the right side
of the screen, that appear only when I do something with the computer- like
moving the cursor or operating a program.
The strange thing is, I connected the laptop through the RGB connector to a 32''
screen and the flickering doesn't happen.
Another important info - on PuppyLinux I don't get the flicker and neither on
WinXP.
Tried to disable DRI but it only makes the flicker thinner than before, although
I would like to find a way to have DRI without flickering.
Anyone ?
