Have you tried adding the -really-quiet   switch, or am I misunderstanding
the overlay flicker part of the problem?

I suppose developement resources (people, time) are limited, 
but I can't help but suspect some of the push for depricating
drivers other than xv etc is being driven by Ubuntu's "It just works"
philosophy, which forces elimination of anything that might 
require experimentation, tuning, a wrapper script or alias etc -
in short anything that might require learning/discovery.
