Just fyi, I've tried different screen sizes via the prev/next in xvidtune. All resolutions have some amount of jitter, etc., except the 1280x1024. Also, if I boot NT4.0 on the same box, it handles 1600x1024 just fine. Is there some way I could either duplicate the NT settings and/or find a clock rate to use as an over-ride in the XF86Config file that would work better? Not that I know what I'm talking about here...
