[Bug 6029] screen flickers with vga16fb

[Black Horizon]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
     Assignee: Ben Collins
         Status: Needs Info


Description:
When I install ubuntu on my laptop, my screen flickers all the time. as
soon as it is in a more graphical part, it runs as normal, but during
all those blue-background text-and-some-colors install parts (with the
running percentages and such), my screen flickers quite fast. The laptop
is an ASUS A4B00K 64 bit (installing the 64 bit-ubuntu), but a mate had
the same problem with another ASUS laptop, installing the 32-bit
ubuntu.. (both breezy badger)

the screen also flickers when I boot, during the "loading modules",
"initializing /dev" and stuff, that entire list (in brown, under a brown
ubuntu-logo), and when shutting down, the checklist of the shutting
down...

P.S. I do not know if this is the right Source Package Name, please
forgive me if I was wrong (probably)
