Me too, same problem with the same card (on a Gateway2000). Not the same
monitor though. And no, playing with the XF86Config parameters for hsync
doesn't help much. The best I could do was with this:
Vendor: Gateway2000, Model: Vivitron 1572
Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1
hsync range 0: 31.50 - 64.00
vsync range 0: 50.00 - 120.00
"944x750" 73.00 944 944 1064 1184 750 753 768 785
I still get a 2mm brighter line on the left, so that's where I put Goodstuff
buttons and Icons, and put Emacs safely on the right.
Not the solution, just a way to survive (the alternative was to switch back to
Windblows, can you imagine?)
Amities,
