Weird, I had removed the i915.powersave=0 and for a long time now (maybe a month) I had almost no flickering (could count them on one hand).
However, today is hell. It is flickering every 3-4 minutes or so...
I've check back the history of recently installed software, and I only have Chromium and FF nightly + tzdata + gwibber updated, so all unrelated to the Video system...
Do you know when a fixed version of the video driver will be available for Lucid?

PS: while waiting, I will add again the kernel parameter workaround.
