I have the same thing if I use 16 bit color. Currently, I use 1024x768 in
8 bit and it's useable. I have the same motherboard with the built-in
sound card (that I haven't got to work - yet), and the SiS6326 AGP.
Xconfigurator uses the stock SVGA server which, I believe is not accelerated.
In 8-bit color, the wobble problem also goes away.
RH6.1
Celeron 400Mhz
128 MB RAM
CTX 1765GMe monitor
Stock kernal
not at my linux box now, so this is all from aging memory.
If you discover a solution, please let me know to.
