Comment 47 for bug 585651

Noting this bug is rated as having had a fix released, thought I'd put in my two cents worth. I have a beta Ubuntu Maverick and the mainline kernel dated 15th September (called by Ubuntu 2.6.36-999) on a HP2540p.

When using the internal display, it still 'flashes', more correctly 'flickers' in my opinion. Not constantly, might be ten or so seconds between each flicker, on average. Its quite erratic. Its not really bad enough to call it 'unusable' even.

Using an external display, its fine.

(By the way, long term followers of this bug may remember my plan to use U 9.10, bad plan, using 9.10 leaves the box totally unable to recognise an external display at all. So not useful with a docking station...)
