What graphics card? What system? Notebook with nvidia Optimus?

Intel cards are known to behave very badly with PS...so if you only have flickering with one of those you can call yourself lucky.

In case of linux...try disabling desktop effects.

update the drivers, if you use windows DON'T use the drivers that comes off windows update but use the nvidia ones.

There are so many possible kinds of "flickering"... hard to imagine what's your specific kind. Maybe tearing (no V-Sync while moving)...

Find it hard to believe that NO one else has had this issue ?

we all have our own issues, thank you very much.  :P

 :P <- I find that if I don't end each and every one of my posts with this, I am universally hated.

Well, what exactly is "this issue"?
Are the textures flickering? The model or map vertices? The light? Is the screen going black and then turns on again? Or do you mean choppy motions because of a too low framerate?
The forum search function returns several different issues that could be described as
flickering. If you provide some more info, I could google it better for you.  ;)
