I have the same issue with the same hardware. I get horizontal black lines flashing on the screen at login, and the screen appears to "twitch" (portions of the screen seem to be randomly flashed, appearing in different locations) whenever I run xrandr or start any programs, like games, that change the resolution.

This never happened with any versions of Ubuntu before Intrepid.
