Video and 3D application ( example Hudini ) blinking on screen

[Bulent COSKUN]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I have FX790GX Chipset on my mainboard and it comes with ATI HD 3300 Graphic card. I activate 3D Features and it working perfectly only for Gnome's application but all videos are blinking while playing and also some 3D applications is not working properly for example Hudini 9.5 from Side Effects Software. When it open the screen I can't see 3D modeling window until I click on the window. When I relase mouse it disappears again. So It's not working correctly anyway.

Hi, Just reporting the same is still occurring on Ubuntu 8.10

System info
Ubuntu

Does anybody have a cure for this most annoying of issues that prevents mutii workspaces being used?
