Re: MAME input "flickering"

OK, I was finally able to give this a try and much to my surprise, the flickering still occurs with a USB keyboard.

Mind you, this is in Ubuntu with the latest SDL build of the code. I took the very same USB keyboard and tried it out on a Windows 7 box, and there was no flickering. So I can conclude the following:

1) It is not isolated to my laptop's physical keyboard.
2) It is possibly a deeper issue with how the entire laptop processes input -or-
3) It is possibly an issue with SDL...?

I'd make a video of the issue if it would really help, but I'm not sure how useful that would be. I don't have Ubuntu loaded on any other device at the moment. I wish I did, I would test it immediately.

Is there anything else I can do to help isolate this? Maybe enable debugging output or something? If there is, let me know. And if there's not, I can live with it.
