There is no problem with the card. Configure X for a screen like yours, to
be exact, I'd guess you were running 1024x768 interlaced, which is not
suggestable over this screen. Reconfigure the X,(backup XF86config just in
case), with data that fits the new screen.
If you already did that, then describe your problem more exactly.
