I have posted this previously on the Ubuntu forums with no help… because I’m having the same issue on both Linux distributions, OpenSuSE 11.2 and Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala (Both x86_64). The issue happens on Linux only, Doesn’t have a problem on Win7 x64.
So I’m just gonna copy what I said there.
I have searched, and searched, and searched, to try and find a fix to this… All the remedy’s I could find, didn’t do squat. Lol
I just recently got a 4650 Radeon HD for my Desktop, in replacement of my NVIDIA GeForce 6200LE.
I am a BIG Dual Monitor user, and I got my dual monitors to work just fine in Linux… out of clone mode, etc. With only one issue…
Each time I open something like…
- winecfg
- sometimes Pidgin or Empathy (Only on Ubuntu)
- Catalyst Control Center (Only on Ubuntu)
My right screen flickers for about 5 seconds… slowing the whole machine down… and is fine the rest of the time until I open another app that does it.
It seems to do it with any WINE app. and it’s very annoying, sometimes even locks my system up.
Is there a way to fix this?
I have tried this on Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Kubuntu, and Fedora, with no luck.

Desktop: Intel Celeron D 3.33GHz, ATi Radeon HD 4650 AGP, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDDx2, 1TB HDD, Windows 7 Ultimate, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE- All 64 BIT
