What color resolution?  If your running it at 4billion colors or 16million etc. try going up one step on resolution to 800x640 and dropping down one step in colors. The problem is overdriving the monitor in one of those areas it sounds like.

I really need some help getting X to run on my new dell 4000 laptop.
It's an ATI rage mobility video card. I can get video to run at 640X480 but
looks really bad. Any other setting I try just give me a blob of color.
Do i need XFree 4.0.2? If so were can I get it at?

Thanks
