Help?  I've worked my way through so much X documentation I dreamt about it
last night (not a good dream either).

What might cause a series of "shadow images" on a monitor that works fine
with Windows but is barely readable with X?

By "shadow image", I mean it seems like the display has this really faint
duplicate moved over to the right about a quarter of an inch, just enough to
make you think you're glasses need cleaning and to make text hard to read.

Even stranger, if I draw a mostly white window around on the screen, the
closer I draw the window to the left side of the screen, the wider the
screen gets (by just a little bit, but enough to be disconcerting).

The "shadow images" can be seen clearly if I start a black window with a
border around it (for example, xterm -bg black -fg black) - on the left
edge, there's a series of faint white vertical lines - each line seems to be
half as intense as the one to its left and half as far away from the one to
its left as the one to its right.  It's like looking an aerial picture of
waves on a seashore.

I've used xvidtune and my modelines seem to be correct.  They also seem to
match the specs in the monitor manual, as does the dot clock.  What else
could be the problem?

Help???
