2015-03-04 00:08:08 penalvch summary Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04 and nvidia card reappeared 10de:0cbc Flickering with Ubuntu 14.04
2015-03-04 00:09:33 penalvch description As requested in Bug #1310633 I'm opening a new bug. With a previous version of Ubuntu I already had this flickering. With additional options for the kernel module I was able to fix the flickering. options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" NVreg_Mobile=3 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=0 With version 14.04 and the nvidia-331 (331.38-0ubuntu7) driver the flickering reappeared although the line is still present in options.conf. Using modprobe --resolve-alias nvidia I found the correct driver module name which in my case is nvidia_331. Changing the module name in options.conf to nvidia_331 X doesn't start anymore. Removing the NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles option X is starting again, but does not solve the issue.
