Attack of the horizontal lines
First, I want to thank everyone that helped me with my other problems that I've asked about.
That said, I have a new and more exciting problem: Blinking Horizontal lines. I did a google search on this problem and I didn't really come up with much. A post on a forum I read said it's possible this could be caused by a bad video card. This wouldn't surprised me at all really. The card in this PC is an SiS 530 or something like that.
Here's what my xorg config tells me:
