This probably is not a solution, but did you see if you could adjust
"gnome-display-properties". There is a pull-down you can adjust
vertical refresh. I am thinking that one is interacting with the X settings.
Regarding the Intel 865, I have an 856G away at work. I run 1280x1024
and note no problem. I believe gnome-display-properties shows 75HZ for
my settings. I can check out this tomorrow to verify vertical settings.
I have th latest version released into updates for FC4 installed.
