They've probably changed a bit, like everything else.

Now that you mention it, I ran into something similar on my wife's machine, 
and it also had i810 video.  Interesting.  (Not Dell anything.  The monitor 
is some El Cheapass from Wal-Mart.)

My solution was to throw in another video card I had sitting around.  My idea 
was to switch from using analog to DVI with the change (no DVI output for the 
i810 on that box), but I *also* switched from i810 to nv, sure enough.

I wonder which switch fixed the trouble.  I could put back over to analog and 
see if it goes back to crawling, but I don't expect I actually will.
