I had the same problem with an S3 Trio 64 V+ graphics card. My flicker
(or more nearly pulsing (of xdm repeatedly trying to start?)) was quite
nasty, so I quickly rebooted with the rescue disk, deleted
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm, rebooted from the harddisk, and downgraded. Is 3.3
choking on my old configs? Or could it have been the S3 server?

Greetings,
Stefan
