I  turns out that there is a bug in the beta version of the Tseng driver
routines. The flickering occurs when running windows in enhanced mode. 
If I run windows in standard mode, the flickering is barely noticable.
Unfortunately, I like to run MS_DOS in a window, which does not work
in standard mode.

If anyone knows of a fix to this please let me know !
