Scott,

When you remove the GsSortClear(), does the sprite flicker against the
brick background? I've been trying to duplicate your problem and have
found that if I load the sprite graphics at a location of 0,0 in the
frame buffer and remove the GsSortClear(), I get a sprite that
flickers at 0,0 on the screen. When I Put the GsSortClear() back, I
just get a colored screen. This is because the sprite image data is
located in the display area and is overwritten when the GsSortClear()
is executed. If this sounds like what you are experiencing, make sure
your sprite image data is located in the Frame Buffer outside the
display area.
