I encountered this problem several monts ago. I don't remember exactly
the configuration because JFFS2 has been temporarily used during software
development. After it has been abandoned, we "forgot" about the flickering.
I think I'll have the chance to have the hands on that project again in 2005.
In this case I'll compare the configuration with the one that works and
I'll post the differences.


Thanks for your cooperation and regards,
