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.?

Thanks,
Forest
