Thanks for the suggestion. I had the feeling, though, that the de-interlacer adjustment was designed to cure what Commodore called "pixel jitter". What I'm experiencing is a hiccup where the whole display jitters up by one scanline for a fraction of a second. While fiddling around with things tonight, I made two discoveries. First, the problem goes away when I disconnect the Firecracker24 from my Amiga's normal (23-pin) video output. This means a flaky FC24 is the source of my woes. Second, the jitter depends on image brightness. Bringing up the Workbench Palette Prefs requester and making the background pure white gives me a constant, irregular jitter. Clicking the brightness down a few notches reduces, but does not eliminate, the jitter. Bringing the background down to 4,4,4 pretty much kills the jitter. This point is moot, since, as I've indicated, the cause seems to have been found. It's still curious, though, that high brightness levels would cause my FC24 to hiccup. Blaq!
