The visible effect in the video is similar to what I see on the LVDS
display. I also see some influence of the mouse pointer position on the
blanked areas.

The effect on the external screen is more like single scan
lines jumping to the right and back, at a high (but still visible)
frequency.

What I'm missing in the report, are some log entries I'm seeing on my
notebook:
