[ale] XF86Config-4 for EV700 from Gateway

[Subba Rao]

I have an EV700  Monitor from Gateway.  This monitor worked great at
1024x768 resolution. Before I switched from Slackware to Debian, I noticed
a shadow image of X apps.  For example, if I open an xterm there is a
horizontal shadow of the xterm (horizontally beyond the xterm borders).
This shadow moves along with the xterm.  This is true for every movable X
object. It starts with the login screen of XDM, GDM and KDM. My initial
reaction was the monitor is going bad.  When I tried to fix my kid's computer
(Win98) with this monitor the shadow images of the objects did not exist.

Now I switched from Slackware to Debian and am seeing the object shadows
again.  If I highlight some text in a window the shadow extends beyond the
window.

What causes these shadows on X objects?

Any help appreciated.

PS - I have appended my XF86Config-4 below
