Is X just pushing my old monitor more than the other > two? You don't say what video mode / resolution you are using under X and under Windows. If it is the same resolution under both, then I'm a bit stumped! If X is higher resolution, then that's likely your problem. You say that it resolves for about 5 minutes after power cycling the monitor. That makes me wonder if it's a heat related issue in a power supply. I had that happen on a Radius monitor that I mounted at an angle in a special console once -- not enought venting that way. (It was solved by removing the outer casing, so that the heat from near the cathode could rise and cool by convection instead of being trapped by the outer case.) Obviously, yours may just be old, but I wonder about your resolutions.
