Please test the following test release, and provide feedback from your testing: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/fc4/xorg-x11/6.8.2-37.FC4.49.3.test_no_i945.0 Also, please attach the X server log from this new X server. Thanks in advance. I've tested the 6.8.2-37.FC4.49.3.test_no_i945.0 test release which fixes the fuzzy vertical lines problem. The visual quality of the display now appears to be identical with that of the 6.8.2-31 release. Attached is the X server log. Many thanks for the quick problem resolution!

Ok that confirms suspicions. > Many thanks for the quick problem resolution! Not quite resolved yet. ;o) We just isolated the problem catalyst. Now we need to find a fix for the real bug. ;) Thanks for helping narrow things down. We'll update the bug once there are new patches to test. I had a chat with alanh in IRC about this issue this morning, and it turns
out that the i810 driver enforces DDC to be used now, and drops modes on
the floor which exceed the monitor's DDC supplied ratings.
The Dell 2000FP is a little funky in that it only supports 160MHz as it's
maximum pixel clock yet it's own 1600x1200 mode uses 162MHz, so the Xserver
drops the mode on the floor.
</paraphrase>
Suggested workaround, is to force DDC to be disabled, by adding the
following to the Device section of the config file:
Option "NoDDC"
Using the 49.2 build, does this make the problem go away, or affect
it at all? You can test it by downgrading just the server rpm with
the latest update using "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage <package>". yum
might have an option to downgrade too, but I haven't checked.
Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", and awaiting testing results.
I downgraded all the installed xorg-x11-* packages to the 49.2 build (because of multiple mutual dependencies), edited xorg.conf by adding the suggested Option line in the Device section, and rebooted. The fuzzy vertical lines problem, however, is still present in this build and with this suggested workaround. The monitor reports running at 1024x768@70K/87Hz. I attach the X log file from this test run. Created attachment 119293 [details]
