I am having problems with my Grphics card
its and integrated Refurb computer used to be a Compaq
using Ubuntu 5.10

description: VGA compatible controller
product: 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]

so I was having vertical Lines up and down at high resolutions
but I set the default color to 16 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

but all resolutions are still "jumpy"
the monitor says it is at 1024x765 75hz but it hurts my eys like 60hz

It looks like the lines on the screen are moving up and down one or 2
pixels very very fast

any advise would be helpful, I already found some :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=55715&goto=nextoldest
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2003/09/msg00072.html

but I don't understand it all
like how to set vram option in the kernel? or the SWPointer?
or the modline?

I'm still mostly a Noob

thanks

I realize that this may sound odd but, do you have _ANY_ kind of TV out
whatsoever? If so, is it thoroughly disabled and disconnected? (yes even
having a terminator on the line will cause problems)
