I checked GVim behaviour on machines with open source and proprietary ATI drivers as well as with open source NVidia drivers - GVim flickered everywhere. After all, I've settled for GVim with Motif GUI instead of GTK2. It isn't completely flicker-free but much, much better than GTK2 version. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
