Hmm... I havn't seen this problem with my Retina Z2, and I've run it
in 1280x1024 interlaced...  (I've got a ADI Microscan 4G for a
monitor).  Horizontal 53.8 KHz, and 100 Hz vertical... Actually
flickers less than 1280x1024 non-interlaced at 53.8 KHz horizontal and
50 Hz vertical.

The only "problem" I've seen with the Retina is horizontal white lines
about 150-200 pixels in length which "flash" to the left of the xterms
when doing scrolling (they flash only along the left edge of the
xterm).  I've only seen this problem at resolutions above 1024x768ni
(1024x768ni is rock solid).  1152x900ni and 1192x900ni show this 
"strange flashing" problem.. (I'm not sure how else to describe it :-(  ) 

I've been just assuming its a CPU bandwidth problem of some sort, and
havn't said anything till now.. has anyone else seen the above
behavior?

An invisible definition perhaps? ;-) :-)

Later...
