This is very useful information indeed. In 0.9.8 an interface was added
to check if your laptop is in a docking station and polls the docking
status regularly. This somehow seems to trigger the blinking screen.


Richard, it seems "polling" the number of active DRM devices causes the
screen to blink. The complete bug report is at [1].
Any ideas how to addess this?


Cheers,
Michael
