Andy no flicker Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop
I added then deleted the i915.powersave=0
from line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX "i915.powersave=0 "
and loaded the new 64bit patched kernal located in your link and
no flicker. (the i915.powersave=0 fix worked for me) It has only been a day but i think its a winner it works.(little too early to tell though100 percent)
I don't know what a FBC is, buts thats fine by me lol.
P.S.
