I'm using a MacBook (not sure what rev), on Ubuntu Hardy, with all updates applied. The driver version is 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu12.

I'm also getting the 'shaking' screen flicker. The external monitor is a ViewSonic VA1912W, 1440x900 resolution.

It's fine on boot, but the flickering starts after a while - the only thing that's been common is the locking of the screen and/or activation of a screensaver (the default one for Hardy). Restarting the X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) stops the flickering.

I'll try disabling the screensaver, and perhaps, not lock the screen and see if that helps.
