On Lenovo-T60 with Ati Mobility Radeon (radeon-driver) I get a flickering display when in init 3. The screen goes blank every 10 seconds for some milliseconds and comes back. This does not happen when in KDE/init 5 and was not with kernel 3.1-0.slh.2.
Code:
infobash -v3
Host/Kernel/OS "T60" running Linux 3.1-0.slh.3-aptosid-686 i686 [ aptosid 2010-03 Ἀπάτη - kde-lite - (201012262151) ]
CPU Info 2x Intel Core2 T5600 @ 2048 KB cache flags( sse3 ht nx lm vmx ) clocked at [ 1833.000 MHz ]
Videocard ATI M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300] [ ]
Network cards Intel 82573L Gigabit
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan]
Processes 161 | Uptime 12min | Memory 609.6/2025.2MB | HDD SAMSUNG HM321HI Size 320GB (22%used) | Client Shell | Infobash v3.37
Please tell me what more hardwareinfo/logs/messages/outputs etc you need to hunt this down. |

| Please look for anything revealing in dmesg and/or /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Personally I can't reproduce that issue on rv360 or rv630, which makes it a little hard to bisect. |

| I compared dmesg and other logs between the .2 and .3 Kernel, looking for differences or errors regarding vga/video/radeon/framebuffer and such. Nothing obvious. No interesting entrys in Xorg.0.log as this happens when directly booting from grub into init 3, but not in X. Will stay with last kernel for a while and see what happens with the next ones. |

I've got the same problem with my T60 and Ati Mobility Radeon X1400!
Additionaly: The problem occurs on an external display connected to VGA, too, even in X, but only on the second monitor.
As der_bud I can't find anything in dmesg or other logs. Any hint where to look for errors? |

Info: it's not gone with Kernel .slh.5 
What tools other than top/htop can observe what "happens in the system"? Perhaps I could see what flashes every 10 seconds. And for me still not in X, but init 3 or Strg+Alt+F1, so some Framebuffer-Thing? |

| Hi hefee, graphics is Ati Mobility Radeon X1300, kms enabled, xserver-xorg-video-radeon. Played around with nomodeset and several acpi/apic on/off combinations in grub, but no changes. |

Hi slh,
thanks for debugging this! With linux-image-3.1-0.slh.5.4-aptosid-686_3.1-5.4_i386.deb
the screen is not flickering anymore (not in init 3 and not on external display)!
Regards
