This is usually a cable problem. You need a *very* good cable to
support the 100's MHz dot clock. You get dispersion in the cable which
looks like ghosting. Sometimes I think the kind of cables that
terminate in a set of 5 BNC connectors are better for super-high
resolutions but I'm not sure.
Good to hear the radeon works though.
I have a similar shearing/page flipping problem on my x86 radeon laptop.
I don't think that's an alpha-specific issue (but I haven't figured out
how to fix it yet).
