When X flickers because it's misconfigured, the result usually *isn't*
a flickering graphic, a shimmering graphic, or any other kind of
screwy graphic on the screen (although if you see any of the above, it
does mean you have a misconfigured X server). You usually see the
screen go black because the monitor is out of its synchronization
range, and so it refuses to display any image to avoid damaging
itself, and it alerts the X server that it's out of range.

I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
If you don't know what it is, either ignore it or visit www.gnupg.org
Fingerprint: D5E2 8839 6ED3 3305 805C  941F 9476 A9BD E2B2 CAD1
The key is keyID E2B2CAD1 on pgp.mit.edu
