Ok, this isn't flicker, more like the PLL locking improperly.. I've seen
this happening randomly on anton's new laptop, usually it goes away if
you force radeonfb to reprogram the display a couple of times.
Have you tried, when it happens, turning the backlight all the way down
to 0, waiting a bit, then back up ? Does this help at all ?
