[Problem]
After resuming from RAM, the screen flickers when the CPU load drops to a low level.

[Original Report]
System : Ubuntu 8.10 (up to date)
GPU : ATI express X1100
Video driver : radeon

Steps to reproduce :
- put the computer on standby
- resume from ram
=> the screen will flicker while CPU activity is not high

workaround :
- just launch an infinite loop that consume CPU : $ while true; do echo >/dev/null; done
=> the screen won't flicker while the CPU is use (even if only one core is being used)

There isn't error either in Xorg, xsession logs or in dmesg after resuming.

Notice that this trouble doesn't occur with fglrx driver.
