It is somewhat less frequent than this, and perhaps shorter, just a single
flicker once in a while.
I am playing with different graphics drivers at the moment, I was using the
nvidia drivers but I am now trying the rpm modules. So far my latest try
seems better, but time will tell.
thanks for suggestions.
