Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Using live CD alpha 2 - amd64 with or without "compiz" my screen is flashing on mouse move or when an application is updating a window.
After a few moments the entire screen comes white, and is not possible to use the system.
<CTRL> <ALT> <F1> for example doesn't works. The only solution is <ALT GR> <SYS RQ> <B> or power off.
I am running Karmic (amd64) without problems.
My system is a HP DV2880 laptop, Core 2 Due with 4Gb RAM and 500Gb of hard-disk.
VGA Controler is an "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)."
Let me know how can I help (more details, logs, others informations and tests).
Thank you.

Thanks for reporting this bug to help making the Intel graphics driver
better. We hear from upstream that a number of bugs (possibly including
this one) have been fixed in the newer DRM code from the 2.6.33 kernel.
I don't know if your bug is one of the ones fixed in this release,
though, but we've prepared a PPA with this DRM update. Would you mind
installing this, rebooting, and testing if the original issue can be
reproduced with it or not?
The DRM PPA is here:
https:/ /edge.launchpad .net/~apw/ +archive/ red
Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using
the command 'ubuntu-bug linux' (for kernel or DRM or KMS bugs) or
'ubuntu-bug xorg' if you suspect them to be X.org issues.
