Comment 5 for bug 117910

I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a Dell Studio laptop with and Intel Core duo. I haven't checked out Linux for a few years, so am sure that I'm missing things here and there. I've loved and used Xemacs for a long time, and was suprised not to find it installed by default, but anyway, installed it via the Synaptic Package manager. It works, but I get really bad flicker. Disabled the tabs as mentioned above, because they flickered so bad they are unusable. The mode line flickers, and in general, the redraw behavior is ugly. The version I downloaded is 21.4.21-4ubuntu1. I'll check it out more and report any help I get here. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
