A few more thoughts here; I wondered if this makes any difference? The problem can be avoided by booting the machine with the display disconnected, and connecting the display afterwards. This is why I am convinced that the problem has something to do with VBE, DDC, etc. I'm not sure if I mentioned that before. Is it possible that it is not the graphics chip that is in a weird state, but the display itself? Could BIOS or X initialization cause the display itself to produce the artifacts, etc.?
