Most likely, that bright band is caused by retrace, which is from the
electron beam coming on too soon.  A few minor adjustments in the
XF86Config file will take care of that.

There's a good document on making these adjustments.  On a Slackware
system, it's /var/X11R6/lib/doc/VideoModes.doc; don't know where it
hides on a Debian system.
