First I dont like the new option name DO_FLICKER ?? that sounds a bit
harsh...
Second we need to find out WHY it flickers now in any case, somehow
it has found a new way of introducing that again :(
I would rather that options SC_BAD_FLICKER was added to GENERIC, and
thats it, then we only need to find out why it doesn't work anymore...
