Jiminy cricket!  Disabling hardware anti-aliasing does get rid of the
flickering.  Too bad that won't be an acceptable option for us.  This has to
be an OSG problem since it has gotten worse in OSG 1.2 compared to 1.0.
Does anybody know if anti-aliasing setup changed somewhere?

Thanks for the info Brian.

Zach

Hi Zach and Robert,

The flashing you see may be related to ours, which happens consistently when
two OSG apps run simultaneously while hardware anti-aliasing is 2x or higher
on our nVidia cards (7800 gtx and others).  The higher settings seem to
flicker a little worse and there is no problem with antialiasing off.

What I do is bring up one app full-screen and the other in windowed mode on
top of it.  The flicker dissapears while either app is minimized but returns
when the windows are restored.

Anyway, you may try disabling your hardware anti-aliasing to see if that
helps.  I've only tried this with OSG 1.0, and I note that CEGUI is used in
these apps as well.

Regards,
Brian
