For what it's worth, I have the same video card (RV350, Mobility 9600) and am
experiencing this same problem on the S-video with NTSC output.  When this
happens, the shimmering pixels appear to alternate between the correct color
and black.  It is possible to tell that pale yellows are still yellow, instead
of just black and white.  (This fact is most visible with the color 255,255,242
#fffff2.)

For what it's worth, a workaround for people experiencing this problem in the
context of video playback is to decrease the brightness and contrast each to -3
or so in mplayer; this eliminates the shimmery lightest colors while minimizing
loss to the available range of colors.

Keep up the work on this driver -- with the xrandr support, it's way better
than fglrx!
