I remember having the same kind of issue years ago and it turned out that I did not install a driver and did not have 3D hardware acceleration. After installing the driver on Linux, Vim no longer flickered. I don't know if it's the same problem, but what's the output of running "glxinfo | grep rendering"? It should say: $ glxinfo | grep rendering direct rendering: Yes Regards PS: please bottom post in the vim mailing list. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
