Flickering does not only depend on interlaced/non-interlaced method but
much more on the screen redraw frequency. It should not be below 60Hz. I
have a Paradise VGA-1024 and it operates in 1024x768 (interlaced !) with
a gray-scale monitor absolute flicker-free. If you move close enough to
the display, you can see that once only the odd and then only the even
scan lines are painted. But thats not the "flickering" you mean, I
assume. The Paradise VGA-1024, for example works with 89Hz (!) repaint
frequency in 1024x768 mode.
