I may be way off, but the boot up scrolling sounds like the video card is sending out PAL insted of NTSC. I have onboard video and can configure either PAL or NTSC in the mb bios. The default bios setting is PAL, and with PAL, I get the scrolling you describe. The colours are also off. No idea how to fix if a video card.. It also sounds like you may have your X settings incorrect. Jarod has his X settings for a MX400 in his howto. You might want to take a look at it.
