I have the same problem with my HP notebook. I don't know if it would be
of any help, but if you can cycle the video modes, that might help. Or
like someone else said, check the dell Linux support folks.

Subject: [SLUG] Video Cards
I am running a Dell Optiplex GX260 and have it dual booted between W2K
and RH 8.0. The video on the Linux side is not acceptable because of a
2" band of gibberish across the screen about 2/3 the way down the
screen.
I ma looking to put another video card in and need a recommendation from
someone who may have a similar situation.
The video chip in the Dell is a BrooksDale -G Chipset integrated
graphics device. Redhat see everything as an intel 845. Linux probes
and uses the intel i810 driver which must be corrupt or does not work
with the Dell M-782 monitor. But then I tried it with a Dell M 781p
monitor and got the same response.
Changing the driver does not help the situation at all,, just makes
everything unuseable.
