I've re-installed the machine using one lenny instalation (not sure which
version) and there was no flickering. I've then upgraded to squeeze - not sure
which version - using another instalation CD) and the flickering was there.
I've then dist-upgraded and the flickering was still present. So I've done
what you asked in the previous e-mail: picked up the sources from squeeze,
applied twose two patches (but not the third), installed the resulting
linux-image and booted it: the flicker was still present.
I'll try to get some time tomorrow for testing 2.6.37+30 and up from
http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/linux-image-2.6-686/ until I find one that
doesn't flicker, and I'll let you know the results.
