I can verify this with my ACER 3618 laptop with 2GB RAM and the Intel GMA915. I have tested on other machines that have the GMA3100 display card and it does not occur with those, at least not that can be seen by the eye. Running Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10 up to date as of 2008-10-09 8:00am EDT. The flickering occurs between 7 and 12 seconds, do it is very periodic. Why it does not affect the GMA3100 when it is using the same driver, I'm not sure, but it could have to do how it is connecting to the GMA915 vs GMA3100. I've read of a lot of this problem on the Ubuntu and Kubuntu sites.
