Scree Flicker while on battery power

I hate to bring back an old subject that has been beaten to death.

I purchased a Thinkpad x60 and have been VERY happy with it. Recently, I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP with all the latest drivers. Now, when I'm battery power I get a screen flicker and every so often I have to hit fn-F4 to put the machine in standby and fn-F4 again. Then everything is fine for awhile.

I've searched the forums and found this seems to be a video driver issue. I'm using 6.14.10.4926. I understand I need to find the version prior to that, but I can't find it anywhere.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get an older video driver that will resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Is it set to 50 hz?

I found it! Taking it back a version fixed all my problems.

Posting for future reference.
