True, I made a mpeg so it might reduce the flickering. I have to find a 
way to make uncompressed movies.

Sorry, I know nothing about Linux :(

Here is a very simple scene. Check if you can see the flickering and 
tell the output settings. And if there is no flickering could you alter 
the scene (or compose a new one) to show it clearly. Even better if you 
can remove the camera movement and still show it (easier for others to 
see it then).

#default{finish {ambient 0}}

camera {
     location <80-clock*160,50,-80>
     look_at <0,50,0>
     direction z*0.7
     }

light_source {<-80,80,-50> rgb 1}

box{<-100,0,-100>,<100,100,100>
     pigment {rgb 1}
     }

sphere {<-70+clock*140,60,0>,25
     pigment{rgb <1,0,0>}
     }

global_settings {
   radiosity {
       count 35
       error_bound 1.8
   }
}
