Flickering TV guide is a well known feature of DirectFB and the Matrox G400s cards, 100 MHz TV helps. You could try running the Matrox buffer at different resolutions. The geometry setting and AFAIK /etc/fb.modes controls this. The skins have been designed for 800x600 which the Matrox cards should be able to scale.
