With an analog monitor, this would most likely be due to the frequency that X 
is set to use being too high for the monitor.

On a TFT screen, I hear that a problem like this can happen because the pixels 
being sent to the monitor are slightly out of sync with the actual alignment 
of pixels on the display.  So, in other words, the pixels may be overlapping 
somewhat.  I forget the solution, though: I think it was to tune the monitor 
via an adjustment screw or something like that.  But if the only thing you've 
changed is software, then presumably there's some way to tell the driver 
about the sync needs or the dimensions of your monitor.

Sorry I can't be more help.  Good luck :)
