I gave this a thought and decided that DacSpeed 160, no more is needed 
here, couldn't possibly do any harm. Well, whoever put these defaults in 
with the driver knew what he was doing: I get such a horrible flicker 
all over the screen when I move or scroll something I couldn't believe 
it. I went so far as to boot up my old Windows because  I started 
becoming suspicious about my hardware: same settings, everything's fine.

The default dacspeeds are 163 for 16bpp and 136 for 24bpp!
