 Dear all,
 I run Fedora 12 on my IBM T60 laptop and with the last two kernel
 releases (the two 2.6.32 ones) I have a strange problem. All is fine on
 the laptop screen. Thought, when I connect the computer to the docking
 station the images on the external screen are flickering. To be precise,
 the image is stable in a small section located in the center of the
 screen, but it is not in all the other parts. The T60 has an ATI graphic
 card and I am using the radeon driver provided in the kernel. All works
 fine with previous kernels (at the moment I am using the
 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686 release).

Have you tested with and without nomodeset?
  cat /proc/cmdline

What video card?
  lspci | grep -i video

What ati drivers?
  rpm -qa | grep -- -ati
