Hi,
After upgrading to the new XOrg7.3 I have a flickering LCD screen on my Laptop.
My graphics card is a ATI Radeon 7500 mobility.
This is my xorg.conf:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.

I played al ittle around with my xorg.conf, disabling almost everything what's not needed, with no luck!
In the end I started with vga driver, but: 3D acceleration is still available (regarding to glxinfo)! Also with no xorg.conf, there is 3D and flickering...
What am I doing wrong??
Edit: I'm using (the latest) xorg-server 1.4-5

I've got the same problem. Any changes in xorg.conf don't change my display, even if I remove xorg.conf the screen stays as previous.

The command "xrandr -q" should print all your available modes and mark with an * the one in use. Check if the one in use is the correct one. In case it isn't, you can try something like:
xrandr -s 1400x1050 -r 60
and see if that solves the problem.

OK, I think it's a problem with my radeon driver. When using the vesa driver, the screen displays well.
Even with disabled 3D acceleration, the screen flickers when using the radeon driver.
My xorg.conf without 3D acceleration (especially look at the modules section):

I also filed a bug report about that: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8558

@Bogart: I checked that, the correct mode was active...

After an update, the bug in xf86-video-ati has gone, everything works!
Offline
@Doehni: Lucky you! Can you please look at this? Is this how your display looked like?
Offline
@lz3060: I already saw your post regarding your problem. Although I also have a Compaq notebook (Evo N1050v) I didn't have the same problem... On my screen everything was nicely visible and sharp, only at the very top and very border of the screen (a few millimeters) there were the edges of the black bar at the right side of your screen visible (the black & white stripes).
My problem was a flickering as if the frequency of the scrren redrawing was very bad. It was like looking in a very very old dieing CRT screen.
I'm using the radeon driver from the latest f86-video-ati package.
I filed a bug report about my problem at the arch bugtracker and the bug was solved in a couple of days!
Good luck fixing your screen!!
