Anton,
I tried all the changes you suggested and I was still having the same
blasted line. It turns out it wasn't the the fb kernel but is an error with
the tdfx driver itself.
I found this surfing the newsgroup linux.3dfx.driver (or something like
that). Others report the same problem with the screen size is set for
1600x1200. I moved down to a lower res and sure enough it was fixed.
The people at 3dfx are aware of this problem and our presumably working on.

I had the same problem with the white stripe on a Voodoo3 2000 PCI.
It does seem to be related to the use of frambuffered video on the
console, because it does not appear when using ``regular'' text modes.
I switched to the regular video because there seems to be some
corruption of the console displays while X4 is running. (i.e. not
scrolling parts of the right side of the screen or the bottom line).
