Got an up-to-date sid with X.org 6.9, just installed the libgl1-mesa-dri
package from experimental to get DRI support for my ATI (FireGL Mobility
T2e) card. Acceleration works fine (glxgears, xmoto, ...) but Blender is
blinking (on each redraw, AFAICT).

(Blender 2.41-1)

That works perfectly for me. Many thanks.

This sounds reasonable to me, and that's the fact (README.Debian). So if
this bug is about mentioning it, I think it should be closed. If not,
I'm wondering whether upstream should be contacted to gather more info
on what cards/X drivers/... are implied in such matters.

Got Xfce 4.2 too, but quite sure it's not related. :-)
