That is innaccurate, to my knowledge RH has never shipped a kernel with
full preemtion. Mandrake's stock kernel has the mini-preemtion patch,
and there is a kernel-multimedia in Mandrake contrib for 9.1 that has
preemtion,low latency and capability support, mainly aimed at doing
multimedia work (sound recording, video editing etc).

I haven't seen any flickering on my 600X under 9.0 or 9.1.
