Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

the flickering can be stopped by removing "HWCursor" "true" from xorg.conf

"HWCursor" "true" isnt the cause - i could reproduce the flickering without the "HWCursor" "true" line in xorg.conf

No need to CC: yourself on bugs that you reported.

Please post your `emerge --info' in a Coment and supply the version of nvidia-drivers in the Summary.

Well there was no more follow up and it looks like a newer version of xorg-server would have fixed this issue so closing this out.
