You'll have to rebuild a kernel, as far as I can see, with the additional option "SC_BAD_FLICKER", which stops this. I'm not sure when this was added, so you might have to upgrade (using cvsup), and then make your world and kernel. (I had this problem with 2.2.5, never saw the option in the LINT file, but when I went to 2.2.7-STABLE, I saw it, and added it, and it works perfectly now) Read the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/) sections on making new kernels, and using cvsup to upgrade. Also of interest is Nik Clayton's "Making the world your own", at http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/make-world/make-world.html Hope this helps.
