Comment 114 for bug 278471

Hmm...

This sounds really weird, i'm pretty convinced it has nothing to do with polling (and as such is different from the flickering, which could be disabled in 4.1). One way to confirm this assumption would be if you could give me the interval in which this occurs, as precise as possible. If this was related to polling, it should happen once every few seconds, the comments sound more like its happening much more heavily!

There might possibly some xrandr-packages being tossed around (resizes without actual changes perhaps), i'll look into this and report back here...

:-)
