This sometimes happens when using 24bpp. I made a fix for it.
The fix should be in the current CVS head. If nothing helps try to
increase the memory clock, reduce the pixel clock and the color depth.

If this still doesn't help - well, Trident chips are always a gamble.

You might want to try making sure you've got the latest BIOS on
your laptop.

I believe 1.40 sorted some problems out with regard to screen noise,
but having checked 1.80 is out now too.
