Just FYI, the release versions should be out this week.  The beta versions
just have a little non-fatal bug which sometimes causes the cursor shape to
get trashed.

What kind of monitor are you using?  I've run 800x600 on an old Sony
Multiscan with no significant flicker at all.  Also, note that the driver
itself has nothing to do with the flicker.  The driver simply calls the
BIOS to put it into the appropriate mode.
