And it still is.

Anyway, the problem is back since I rebooted to 2.6.38.4, and the Option 
"NoFlip" "True" is still set in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and the log did not 
show any objections to it.

So, what do I do next folks?  The only colors I can set a konsole screen to 
use is the 'dark pastel' choice if I want to be able to actually read it.  
Black areas of internet videos are also full of this, flickering large 
areas of the screen, seemingly with a 1 second flashing overlaid over the 
contamination of the black areas.

Thanks & Cheers.
