A quite similar problem seems to exist with the closed source nvidia
driver and Dell monitors. I have a Dell 2405FPW and a GeForce FX5600,
so not exactly the same setting, but I can reproduce something similar.
When I turn the TwinView feature on, the horizontal lines flickering
goes away. This is what I added to my xorg.conf to get things to work
smooth (replace the 1920x1200 by 1600x1200 for your Dell 2000FP):
Section "Device"
...
Option "TwinView"
Option "MetaModes" "DFP-0: 1920x1200, CRT-0: 1920x1200"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, DFP-0"
...
I have horrible flickering as above in Windows (over VGA), and no
solution for that (and I don't have any solution how to bring that
screen into 1920x1200 over DVI on Windows, no flickering in the
1600x1200 mode over DVI, though).
