Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I updated to maverick on my netbook, and when I open a application that uses OpenGL the screen flicker (maybe on each redraw event) doing unusable the desktop and the application.

For example, I cant open firefox. I have to fill this bug with google-chrome (apparently it dont use opengl).

I made a video that attach to the bug with glxgears and glxdemo that show the flickering on my screen.

I try downgrading the package mesa to lucid with:

sudo sed -i 's/maverick/lucid/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo aptitude update

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx=7.7.1-1ubuntu3 mesa-common-dev=7.7.1-1ubuntu3 libgl1-mesa-dri=7.7.1-1ubuntu3

But it don't work yet, same behavior, so I think that lucid also is affected.
