I have the same problem with an Nvidia graphic card.

At first I thought it was due to a dodgy update, I have 9.10 installed. So I tried to reinstall 10.04 to fix it... Just booting on the live CD I have the same strange flickering...
On 9.10 changing the graphic drivers or resetting xorg.conf changed nothing, that problem started appearing some 2 months ago after an update, unfortunately I didn't mark down which update, because I thought it would get fixed quickly in the following updates...

Just booting the live CD for 10.04 x64 and I have that flickering that is really annoying. I like ubuntu, but with that constant problem I'll have no choice but to switch to some other dist. or windows...
That's how it looks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3nnLv0cubU
I cannot record it with gtkrecordmydesktop or anything like that because when doing that it shows no flickering at all on the recorded video.

I have a Nforce680 chipset, geforce8600GT (DVI output).

Is there any option like radeon.new_pll=0 but for nvidia graphic cards?
