Dual Head RADEON MergedFB, overlay causes shimmer on screen0

[Bob]

When I playback video with mplayer (vo=xv), visit a site with animated 
flash advertising or watch a clip on youtube, my primary screen, (right 
hand side analogue over DVI, CRT [EMAIL PROTECTED]) shimmers, my secondary 
screen, (left hand side, analogue over VGA D-sud 15, LCD [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
stays steady as a rock.

This still happens if I drop the resolution and frequency of my CRT to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] but it clears up if I disable MergedFB and use xinerama.

I have a Radeon 9250 (RV280) and I'm using the Open source RADEON driver 
(xorg.conf has Driver "ati" specified but that loads RADION) and I'm 
running Etch with Xfce with everything stock from apt (except flash, eww 
I feel dirty now).

Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? Google says not but my search 
skills may be poor today.

Thanks for your time.
