Wiating for vertical retrace before doing a buffer flip is a property
of the display driver. If you look at your graphics card's properties
there is usually a an option to enable/disable wait for verticle retrace.
To eliminate the flicker be sure that wait for vertical retrace is enabled.
Unfortunately we have found that some cards ignore this attribute and never
wait for vertical retrace when rendering.
