I have the 1st generation unibody 15" Unibody Macbook Pro with the 9400/9600 graphics cards.
I usually use it plugged into my 26" Samsung monitor running at 1920x1200 and I always have the 9600 turned on for gaming (mainly SC2)...
These days the screens (monitor and laptop screens) flicker together every once in a while. I'd say about once every 2 days. It's not a very long flicker, maybe half a second, but enough so that I notice it every time.
is this a bad sign?

does it only do it on the 9600.. or the 9400 too?

I seem to have the same issue, but I'm fairly certain it only happens on the 9400m for me. 9600m GT seems to be okay (though I'm getting pretty bad choppiness on the OS animations when using my 27" Cinema Display- is that normal?)

Could be a video driver issue, have you updated the video driver lately?

Is that not the case? -

CanadianDude, is the problem occurring on Mac OS X or Windows 7?
9600M GPU Gone bad?
