Are you using MaxApplZoom?  When I tried out this INIT, it seemed to cause the
OIDS demo to flicker like crazy.  However, the OIDS demo works just fine on my
IIcx (no flicker) without MaxApplZoom.  If you are not using MaxApplZoom, and
you still have the flicker, try playing around a little with your
configuration.
