Well I have a "workable" linux system on my G3 All-in-one. I have bright
video. The video is not shifted (most of time) but!!! Now right off the
bat there are verticle "snow". So as the text fills the screen the snow
goes with it. First only the top then the whole screen. I have even
accidentally had 3 window managers running and they all had the problem.
But to varrying degrees (I think). What have I done. I fix two problems
and create another.

I tried upping the bit depth. I am at vmode 13 24 and the first problem
is gone. Now I get a bit of noise when I move windows around. Other then
that it is working much better.

I've been having the same problem, but, like you, have had some success
fixing it. I use "video=atyfb:vmode:13,cmode:8", and it works okay. I get
the noise you refer to when moving windows, but it's tolerable. I hope I can
eventually get the problem fixed altogether, because I'd like to use a higher
resolution (currently, though, anything higher than vmode 13 isn't really
clear enough).
Later...
