The DF display doesn't seem to... display correctly.

It shows the correct display for a few frames, then it all goes black except for constantly-refreshing elements, like the FPS display.

It's problematic simply starting the game, adventurer mode is simply futile to use, Fortress mode is sporadic, and pausing is unthinkable since everything goes black. It could be my GFPS setting (it's set to 20, and my monitor's refresh rate is 60Hz) or it simply could be my computer hating it.

The full DF folder is here.

EDIT: I tried it with a full, vanilla, unmodded 40a build. It still has the same refresh problems. Mods being the cause of the problem are out of the question.

GFPS being set to 60 is not the cause of the problem either.
Setting VSYNC to DEFAULT and ON does not seem to change things.

Seeing as how others are having trouble with the refresh rates and also having display issues, it might not be my computer's fault.

I tried tweaking my DF [40a] init and played around with the OpenGL settings but couldn't make it go blank or flicker. I also downloaded the full DF folder and ran it but it seemed to work all well (not sure about that since I have played dwarf mode only).

I wonder if it's a some sort of incompatibly issue with OpenGL / display-driver. It's propably DF anyway since others are having display issues too.

Ran on WinXP myself, with GF 8600.

PS.
I recall one of the laptop version GF series (6XXX something) having quite bit of a problems with some games, well at least Red Faction x) It's D3D though...

I'd like to keep all of these in one place.  Here's the other thread.
