thanks for your response Alex, I've tried your suggestion but i dont notice 
any change, the screen is still showing some kind of flickering from time to 
time. Do you have any other thing to recommend me in order to dissapear this 
bad behavior of my screen?, on the other hand, wich app i can use as bechmark, 
I mentioned glxgears because everywhere in the web people use that as 
benchmark. thanks in advance for your response.
