Hi ubuntu-users

What is happening with these programs is that the screen is constantly 
flickering when I run either one of them.
I switched my resolution a bit lower froml 1900x1200 to 1600x1050 and it 
is getting better, but I do not want to go lower.

My card is an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 with (I think) 
1 MB of memory (how do I find out?)
