It seems to me that one's experience with X is totally dependent on which
display adapter. Some have drivers that work well, some have drivers that
work less well. You would want to figure out which adapter and, after
updating to the latest Xorg for your distribution, start looking on
Bugzilla and the like for that specific one.
At the same time, I've not seen any behavior that I'd call "shaking"
which was induced by the software. But experimenting with slower and
faster refresh would be interesting to try.
It seemed to me that the Intel 8215 drivers were mediocre to dismal at
some lower settings, but at 1280x960/60hz it is truly a beauty to
behold.
