Thanks Rick,

Another friend of mine suggested notching down the dot-clock/refresh
rates (probably similar to what you're getting at).

I checked the 'settings' via NT and found that it's using
a refresh of 75x60. So, back in XF86Config I commented out the
more aggressive:

# 1600x1200 @ 70 Hz, 87.50 kHz hsync
#Modeline "1600x1200"  189    1600 1664 1856 2160  1200 1201 1204 1250 -HSync
-VSync

and instead used:

# 1600x1200 @ 60Hz, 75.00 kHz hsync
Modeline "1600x1200"  162   1600 1664 1856 2160  1200 1201 1204 1250 +HSync
+VSync

This helps considerably.

Thanks again for your time,
k.

Ok, but listen. You can't make a ten pound cake with five pounds of flour. We 
really have to stay focused and productive and re-engineer the process on the 
methodology assets.
