You can find just about any manpages and docs online. In this particular case a bit of googling got me this page: http://ru.download.nvidia.com/solaris/1.0-9639/README/appendix-d.html (It's for Solaris, but the options shouldn't be too different.) > >>> Option "NoFlip" "boolean" > >> I just put this line in the Device section of xorg.conf, and will reboot >> to level 3 so I can play with startx. >> >>> The description matches what EnablePageFlip does, except it's >>> reverted, which means setting "boolean" to "true" should turn off >>> page flipping.

If you know how to patch files and compile your own X-server, you could try and apply the patch linked in the bug report I mentioned in an earlier post, which is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=44749 If those two bugs are related, the patched X server should work with page flipping active and would confirm that this issue is not isolated to the radeon driver but also is occuring on the nvidia side. Regardless, I think you should attach a comment to the earlier bug report, so folks know this is possibly not limited to ATI cards.
