    Did you configure the monitor manually? If so you might have a refresh rate problem. i don't see anything strange in your xorg.conf.

    no manual config

    I tried that and then did a clean install again without and no difference. There are bars that run down the screen. it does seem like a refresh problem, but the config is correct.

    Try
    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    That will help you get the settings right.

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

    i did that no change. unless I should change the refresh rate from the recommended setting.

    make sure its not just your desktop wallpaper that has the pinstripes, i know with some, the default one is fine pinstripes vertically. (i think it is to see if your resolution is correct)
