Hello! I have a laptop Insys DNote WVC03 that uses a Poulsbo GMA500 graphics card. The problem is that the screen is flickering all the time and I think it's a kernel issue because it flickers on TTY too. What can I do? Which info should I provide? Thank you!

Including the word Intel will probably help us who don't know graphics card by their project names.
I assume you've gone through these Wiki pages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/poulsbo and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics (ooh, the latter link says the Intel GMA 500 isn't supported by the Open Source drivers)
Could you please post kernel version and the contents of xorg.conf please?
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.

Here is the kernel version:
Linux atom 3.14.4-1-ARCH
I'm not using xorg.conf

Arch doesn't use xorg.conf any more --- just individual .conf files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Forgot about that... Oh wait, I'm using AMD Catalyst, so that explains why I'm still using one.
OK, take two: @sealanco, are you using any files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to configure your graphics card?
Claire is fine.

clfarron4 I'm not using a config file for my graphics card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Anyway, I think it's a kernel problem because the flickering happens in TTY too.
