[Bug 352927] Re: Screen flickers, random hangs

[scotshinderman]

Sorry about the terse description;  it seems to be two related
behaviors -- once one is evident (quick flicker) a hang comes soon
after.
   The previous install (8.10) was very stable but 9.x didn't work at
all (there was no X windows display) until I added the UXA line as
noted in the bug log.   The display comes up now but after about 5 to
10 minutes of use, there is a noticeable tear or two that goes across
the screen.  Usually soon after the display goes entirely black and
the machine from what I can tell, is in a frozen state.
   is the gma950 a crazy chip to code for?

  thanks for all the great work so far!
