This bug is absolutely annoying and implicitly also a security issue since I'm using apw's kernel mentioned as a workaround, so I'm not able to fetch security updates to the kernel. (workaround no. 2 is not an option since battery life is important to me.)

Is there a good reason for not including the patches from apw's kernel into the official ubuntu kernels to make the flicker disappear?
