Graphics Card or Monitor problem, how to fix?

[Steven Hodgen]

Wow, after looking at the log file you mention, there's tons of information
that looks like it might be relevant to my problem.  The file is too big to
post here though.   So, I slapped up a quick web-site at
http://sjh.objectis.net, so anyone who wants to take a look at it will have
access to the entire file without me being a rude poster.

Thanks!
