That sounds like a sync problem -- like it doesn't have quite the right
settings for your screen.
	But you're making progress. To be honest, this is more trouble
than I've seen in a while. Looks like you just got lucky.
	Check in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and see if it looks like the Device
is right, and what the HorizSync and VertRefresh are. If they look weird,
post them and I'll stare at them.
	Another thing that will cause weirdness is a poorly configured
mouse, but if you can move the cursor around with reasonable accuracy,
that's probably not it.
	Anybody else have a clue on this one?
