Title:
  Upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 - screen flickers

Status in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was running fine on ubuntu 10.04 and decided to take the plunge and
  upgrade to ubuntu 10.10.

  Ever since I have upgraded, I am getting a screen flicker every 6-7
  seconds. This is MOST annoying.

  I have tried installing the AMD proprietary video driver and using the
  default driver.

  Both have the same problem:

  mike@ubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C display

  Can someone please help me?

  If not, is there a way to go back to 10.04 without doing a complete
  re-install?

  Thanks,
  Mike
