Comment 14 for bug 492392

I'm not sure if this is productive or not, but I've been trying to recompile the i915 drm module with changes from the kernel bug, using Martin Pitt's procedure at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild#line-10, plus an update-initramfs because I was under the impression that was necessary these days...

It hasn't been working; still getting the flickering on my Eee PC 1000HEB. I will try the powersave workaround next.

If someone with knowledge of this area would be willing to guide me, I'm willing to try a number of things to get this one fixed. It's pretty much all that's wrong with lucid for me right now.
