It's not a highend, Kepler is 6 year old architecture. I just wrote it here because some DOS users may also have access to decent modern HW. Never mind, I got some more info that helped to localize problem. It seems that the VBE bug was introduced in video BIOS major version line 80.x while 70.x is OK. I also got runtime ROM dumps of both versions (where 70.x is confirmed as flicker-free by the user) so I can DASM them and compare. I think I have enough info but it's just time consumnig...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
