Then why not use a 2.6 kernel?

You pasted a version with both the vesa driver and the ati, and seem to
be commenting/uncommenting parts. Are there any differences beside the
driver?


Try replacing the relevant section of xorg.conf (XF86Config) with
something like the following (and make sure the ati x driver is
available) (some details may need tweaking):


# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************

# Any number of graphics device sections may be present

# Device configured by xf86config:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage 128 Pro"
Chipset "ATI Rage 128 Pro PF (AGP)"
Driver "r128"

#VideoRam 32768
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection


____________

Uncomment the VideoRam bit if needed.


Also, What type monitor do you have? Is it an older CRT? It may be
being put into a mode that almost, but not quite, works, and this
scrambles the screen. Will it work at a low refresh rate than 75? Try 60.

Let me repeat: Some details may need tweaking. I am not sure if the
correct ati driver is still called "r128", and I think your video card
is not AGP, that may make some difference.

Look at your monitor's settings.
