Far more than I'd like... *sigh*

Due to issues that were more aggravating than seeing some refresh
artifacts, I've put my nVidia card *back* into my machine - and the
artifact returns.  I was using the exact same modeline for my o/b card
- and had no refresh lines, so I'm convinced that the modeline is not
the issue.

It could well be power - and if so, I'm not sure there's much I can do
about it other than stew.  I've had it since I built this machine over
the Christmas holiday last year, and when I tried to tell the missus
that I'd fixed it this morning; she had no idea what I was talking
about.

I've read the man pages on xorg.conf, and nothing jumped out, but if
anyone knows of a "SubtleButAnnoyingRefreshLines" "False" option - I'd
love to hear about it.

Cheers.
