I thought I had fixed the machine that was displaying 640 x 480 video, but 
alas, it is getting stranger.

The machine in question is a Dell Optiplex G270, with Intel 82865G graphics- 
video buffer set to 8MB in the BIOS.

Initially, I could only get it to display 640 x 480 video. Based on 
recommendations here, I tried the INTEL driver, and there was success- it was 
putting out 1024 x 768.

However, as time went on, weirdnesses popped up.  The Ubuntu login screen is 
strangely distorted, as if it is wider or simply larger than 1024 x 768 and is 
being squashed.

The monitor goes wonky and clicks a lot, as if it losing sync and regaining 
sync.

And finally, Firefox crashes when using Javascript on that workstation.  But if 
you log onto to the same account on a different workstation.  It does not crash.

A different monitor did not help.

These symptoms do not show up when it is booted into Windows XP.

changing x_mode_0, x_color_depth does not seem to help.

The server is Ubuntu 8.04.1, 64-bit, though the LTSP environment is, of course, 
32-bit.

Any ideas?
