sync artefacts on LCD

Hi,

my desktop looks as if there is a sync problem on the LCD ?!?!
On smooth color transitions you can see severe artefacts which look the same as on crt when having the wrong horizontal frequency. I would like to post a screenshot to illustrate the artefacts, but I don't know how :-(

I am running WinXP on a YAKUMO Q8M Power64 YK. LCD 1024x768@60Hz
Driver Version Omega 6.05
Release Version 8.241-060321a1-031959C-ATI-OMEGA

I am not quite sure which ATI chip is exactly in the system.

I appreciate any help. Thanx.

I connected an external crt and the picture is perfectly fine. All kind of modi I adjusted work. But no change on th LCD of my notebook :-(

Please don't suggest to run my notebook on the crt only :-)))

I just checked the LCD display under Fedora Core 4. The same artefacts appear. Is there a memory section on the ATI chip that remembers certain settings? Can I modify or correct these settings?

Well, now I screwed up everything! I installed Radlinker and changed the clock settings. Bad idea!!!
Can anyone tell me how to get back the default settings with Radlinker?
Bios defaults - failed!
Disable - failed!

Now I need really some help!

Thanx in advance.

At least I am back where I started. CRT works fine and notebook LCD is corruoted.
It looks as if the refresh rate is not 60 Hz. All changes had no effect. Doesn't matter if I adjust 60 or 100 Hz.
