Hello,

I have the exact same problem, with the same chipset, but embedded in a
Compaq Deskpro 4000. You might also want to have a look at a page by
Robert Moniot where he describes the same symptom on the same hardware
(see : 
<http://dsm.dsm.fordham.edu/~moniot/linux-compaq/Xwindows.html>). I
already played a lot with the mode lines, but was not able to get rid of
this.

Sorry not to be of more help. If you learn something more, please keep
me posted.

Cheers. Bye.

Ph. A.
