[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#613745: upower: Screen often blinks

[Hongzheng Wang]

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.8-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

After upgrading to the latest version 0.9.8-2, I found the screen of my
computer often blinks.  The frequency is about 1-2 per minute.  By
contrast, when I downgraded the package to 0.9.5-5, the problem
disapears.

Moreover, the problem dosen't exist on my notebook computer.  So, it may
be related to specific hardware.

The computer having the problem is a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop with ATI
Technologies Inc RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 XT].

Thanks.
