The kernel from comment #88 looks flicker free to me now for over 5 hours. I have already been testing it as indicated in my comment #90.
details to make sure:
uptime; dmesg |grep "Command line"; dmesg |grep "Linux version"

About your comment #94: Is there a solution in those maverick patches to rc7 or do they just work around the issue?
