First a question, if you ctl-alt-Fn to another terminal, do you get a 
blue border? If so, you might try to replace the libvgahw.a file that 
was previously discussed. If you already replaced the file, I have no 
clue as to a resolution to your problem.
With the computer that I have that contains an Intel 815 card, I run 
1280x1025 at 24 and do not see any problems on a CRT display with similar 
resolution. I did not see the vertical lines on my display as you 
descrivbed, even before replacing the libvgahw.a file.
