I just installed VLC 0.9.2 from source onto Ubuntu 8.04 running with the FGLRX 8.52.3 driver. Set video output to X11 and fired up an .iso of a video DVD. Left Compiz (Visual Effects) enabled.
No flashing/blinking. No tearing. Windowed video is smooth and stable. Full screen playback is smooth with no tearing/blinking/flashing. I can drag the video window around the desktop and it both wobbles and continues to play the video without any silliness.
Me happy.
Hardware is an HD 3870, if that makes any difference.
Could the "tearing" and flashing issues have been player related all along?
