What kind of strange flashing? Not thin horizontal strips similar to
corrupted data, but somehow different looking, constantly/rapidly updating
and always appearing in the same vertical alignment, i.e. at the same
column(s)? If so, mine does that and it's an early-AGA "feature" on some
mbs and there is a fix if it really bothers. If not like that then it's
something else (brilliant logic).
