Hi,
I have a radeon 9000 Pro, running Redhat 9, updated XFree86 to the
latest rawhide version 4.3.0-8. I am using all of this with a Viewsonic
VP201m LCD display running at 1600x1200.
I find I get some horizontal streaking that is independent of the
application I am running.
A short video of this (at about the three second mark) can be seen here:
http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~migod/ftp/radeon9000.avi
If you put up a black background, you can see thin light coloured
horizontal lines flickering (ie a fraction of a second). Here, I've put
up a gnome-terminal and a web page with black backgrounds ... it is
clearly a global issue, and not related to individual apps.
I tried toggling 16 and 24 bit colour, tuning on/off 3e acceleration
(via redhat-config-xfree). Same problem.
Any ideas?

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
