Starting from 2.6.37 the screen on my Toshiba Satellite A100 flickers as soon as kernel modesetting is initialized. The flickering does not occur always: sometimes the screen is almost unreadable, sometimes there is no flickering at all.
With 2.6.36 (and previous versions) I've never experienced flickering problems.
