Could be a monitor problem : the refresh rate of 85 MHz is only available on lower resolution - 1024x768 for the 17" CRT monitors that I have - and setting X to a higher resolution causes the flicker for a white background because the monitor slips to 60MHz. I have managed to get it to 75 Mhz which reduces the flicker, but the resolution is not at the maximum allowed (1280x960 - again for the monitors that I have) You could check your monitor manual and see what are the preset refresh rates for the different resolutions, and use those to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh values in the xorg.conf file.
