You can do this manually by pressing alt+F2 or run, gconf-editor then clicking through the tree on the left. /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/unredirect_fullscreen_windows. Then just check or uncheck the box.

Finally !!!

Man, this fixed it. I was having the same issue with full-screen videos. Annoying as hell.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks, this solved it for me!! I’ve had this problem on my EeePC 901 since in installed Ubuntu 8.10, but it got a whole lot worse with 9.04. It’s fixed now, and i hope i won’t come across any side-effects since i’m not quite sure i understand what that commands precisely does. I’d better go and find out

Wow thanks a ton.
I’ve had this problem from day 1 a few years ago on my EEE 701. ASUS told me it wasn’t their problem cause it must be a software bug.

FF drove me nuts so I went to Chrome and had no problems until a adobe flash update brought it all back, then it started doing it even in bios!!

So what do I do now? The left half and the the right half will flicker in a rapid alternating fashion.

It was only in Firefox for the longest time…

And suggestions on what I should try next?

THANKS

It may have not been very much of a usability problem, but once I noticed the flickering it was driving me mad! What a relief…
