[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 970599] [NEW] Screen keeps flickering after executing SuperTuxKart

[Linux Lover]

Public bug reported:

After installing and executing SuperTuxKart, the screen has been
flickering.

I tried to take a screenshot, but the screenshot does not show the flickering.
The screen looks [not exactly] like this [http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7199/imag0031yt.jpg]  (Image not taken by me)


I did the following:


1) Install SuperTuxKart from the Software Center

2)  Run STK from Unity Launcher

4) STK Window appeared without any image (Just the window borders)

4b) At the same time as 4, the image surrounding the STK windows starts
flickering.

5) Kill X

6) Login again

7) Whole screen is flickering. Specially when I open the Dash.


While typing this I notice that the screen flickers when I change Windows. For example, when I use Alt+Tab to move from Firefox to another app, or to display the desktop. Or when I open the Dash.
