Just wanted to point out that, in the morning (or anytime I start up the
computer after it's been turned off for many hours), when I start up the
machine, I can use the Linux (Fedora Core 3) partition for about 30 minutes with
a nice, clear screen before the horizontal flickering lines begin to appear.
Shortly after they appear, though, the screen begins to grow worse and worse
with the lines until it's completely blank.

I thought it might be a hardware problem, but the screen is fine on the Windows
partition, so that makes me think it's a driver problem. Nevertheless, I'm going
to try this later today or tomorrow on a brand new IBM R51 just to test the
hardware theory.
