[Bug 549709] [NEW] [RV515] screen flickers in lucid lynx beta1 [Needs pll quirk]

[Aurélien Begel]

Public bug reported:

As already reported by other users in bug reports #544662 or #543045, my
laptop screen flickers in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx beta1. This can happen at
boot time of after a few minutes, but when it begins it stays until
shutdown or reboot.

As for other users, this issue is solved by passing "radeon.new_dll=0"
parameter to the kernel at boot time, or by passing "new_dll=0"
parameter to "radeon" kernel module.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400 (aka E1505), an ATI Radeon Mobility
X1400 video adapter and a 15.4" 1680x1050 panel. (See attached files for
details)
