Does this issue affect kubuntu 8.04 with KDE4.1.2 (installed via http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu)?

I've been getting flickers (as if the DVI signal had been removed and then added again). However unlike the other posts here, "xrandr -q" does not reproduce the flicker.

Also the "Detecting RANDR(monitor) changes" service isn't listed when I followed the System settings advice mentioned previously. Any workaround advice for 8.04 users? Would upgrading to 8.10 be the best solution?

I have a Thinkpad T42p with ATI FireGL Mobility T2 graphics. I'm using an external display connected to DVI-0, internal (LVDS) is disabled via "xrandr --output LVDS --off".
