It turns out that Scott was right. While the screen flickered I was able to change the default 800x600 resolution to 1280x1024 and it stopped the flickering. Funny though when I used an 8kstakes kernel this problem of flickering at 800x600 resoluion did not occur.

BTW From what I remember.
Some flickering is caused by a monitor sweep rate being just off (S.A.
51 or 61 Hz) line frequency since the human eye is fairly slow in
response. When this happens you get a beat frequency between the
lighting and the monitor.
Under normal situations the eye does not see the repetitive dimming of
the light (or monitor), but, when there is a difference of frequency of,
say, between 0.5 and 10 cycles per second the eye is capable of seeing
the flicker.
You can check to see if this is the cause by turning off the room
lights. If the flicker goes away this is most likely the problem.
> -- > jludwig <wralphie@xxxxxxxxxxx> I probably somewhat misstated the
problem by saying it was flickering (must be my age) It was a shimmering
effect i.e. the image sort of vibrated. Anyway changing to 1280x1024
fixed the problem. (It now no longer shimmers at this resolution).
