[Bug 527149] Re: Karmic + NVIDIA cause screen flickering, X crashes and video playback problems

[themusicalduck]

I was about to report a bug, but it looks like this is very similar to
the issue I'm having.

My screen will flicker randomly. Usually it's not very noticeable, but
sometimes it is so bad that the computer is nearly unusable. The screen
just flickers on and off. This also sometimes causes freezes. Usually
only short hang ups, but occasionally it will freeze completely.

I get the random crashes back to the login screen as well.

The only difference is that I don't have the same problems with video
playback. Although I do have this problem -

I've had this problem since Lucid. I'm running Maverick now and it
doesn't seem to have gotten any better.

I'll attach an lspci output, but if you need any extra attachments then
let me know.
