If you have a driver version 2.1.8494 (from standard 11.1 repositories), it is *not* the ATI Catalyst (fglrx) driver. Check with "lsmod | grep fglrx". My *guess* is that you have actually installed the radeon or radeonhd driver which would explain the source of the problem. Report back.
I HATE ATI :-( Sigh.... lsmod | grep fglrx returned the fglrx module as expected. I had enabled the ATI module and installed the fglrx driver and kernel module... things were... working... ish. Compiz stuff was working etc. Sometimes on a clean boot the strobing would be minimal on KDE4 starting, but starting up XBMC, MythTV etc it would really go crazy for a while.. usually would settle and return to normal... sometimes not, instead just strobing away and making any keyboard interaction take many seconds until I exited the application. I removed the fglrx driver, went to the ATI site and downloaded/installed the ATI Catalyst driver. All seemed to go OK... tried restarting X... didn't work, so rebooted, and now the computer is caught in a boot loop.. rebooting every time it tries to load X. Going to try to sort that now, to see if I can at least get it to boot to a CLI.
