If I press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to go back to gnome, the display is grey and flickers. I then killed all gdm-related processes and restarted gnome by using either the commands gdm or startx. In both cases, no luck: still, my screen flickers and only shows grey. However, I only have the problem of a flickering display after going back from another tty to tty7 or when I restart gdm. I don't have the problem of the flickering display when the computer is starting up and boots gdm for the first time. Does anybody have any pointers to information on flickering displays in cases like this? thanks a lot for any information, Bram PS: my xorg error log is in pastebin: <a href="http://pastebin.com/m246e1a5d" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/m246e1a5d</a> PS2: my graphical card is a Intel 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller.
