4Mb AGP integrated graphics chip inside a Compaq Deskpro EN.
First installed Ubuntu, but it booted up into a vanishingly high 1600x1200 @ 60Hz (too small for my 17"), with 5 or 6 vertical coloured lines and some graphical corruption whenever a window was moved.
Changed to a saner 1024x768 @ 75Hz, display was much clearer and corruption was gone.
Slackware 10.1 refused to boot X.org until it was upgraded to 6.8.2 (from slackware-current) and even then there was major corruption in KDE, with only the icons visible. SLAX (http://slax.linux-live.org/), however, worked first time, but booted up into the same high resolution. Copied, lightly edited and pasted SLAX's xorg.conf into my Slack install, and X worked, even the power-saving features.
Xorg.conf follows:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
