I tried to disable hardware acceleration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "s3virge" Option "NoAccel" "true" EndSection
The flicker is still there. Additionally the X server crashes within a minute every time: Backtrace: 0: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x813518b] 1: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x55) [0x80c7be5] 2: [0xb8044400] 3: /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 [0xb7fa4724] 4: /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 [0xb7fa9350] 5: /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0(pixman_image_composite+0x761) [0xb7fa8f71] 6: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbComposite+0x1b2) [0xb7915632] 7: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x818030a] 8: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(CompositePicture+0x19a) [0x817255a] 9: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x8178405] 10: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x8175125] 11: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(Dispatch+0x33f) [0x808d57f] 12: /usr/X11R6/bin/X(main+0x3bd) [0x80722ed] 13: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb7c19775] 14: /usr/X11R6/bin/X [0x80717a1] Saw signal 11.
