i have the same problem here - and some more info about it:
* it is not depending on a special vga-board (tested with trident
8900cl and miro 10sd - s3 805)
* it only apears if the monitor is detected as "mono" - mono-monitores
detected as "color" work fine
if anybody has a fix - i may try it out - maybe this helps - t
