[Bug 299695] Re: [regression] Altering xorg.conf causes screen flickering on shutdown

[Bryce Harrington]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  On an upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid and on a clean installation of
  Intrepid, when I have the server layout section in my xorg.conf, there
  is screen flickering when I shutdown my computer. Sometimes this
  prevents the shutdown process, and I have to use the power button.
  
  The flickering is characterized by colored lines on the scree at first,
  and if it gets to the Ubuntu progress bar, this is duplicated across the
  screen with scanlines.
  
  I have to have xorg manually configured because of my Finepoint tablet,
  which does not work with the new HAL fdi system.
  
  This configuration worked fine on Hardy. I'm on a Gateway cx2619, which
  uses the Intel 915GM chipset.
