Yeah, I was using the July 10th release of Tormod Volden's driver when I didn't have any resolution options.  No flicker though.
I have temporarily solved the problem by doing the full manual install of the radeonhd driver (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD), and then in the xorg.conf file, instead of "EXA" Acceleration, I specified "XAA".  Now I have almost no flicker at all and my cheese and skype video still work,... just as long as my desktop effects aren't enabled as well.  If desktop effects are enabled, then skype just will display a black screen instead of webcam feed, and cheese will open as soon as the camera comes on.
It never stops...
