Check out Compaq's website, under Technical Support. You'll need to download the boot and F10 Setup Disks for your Deskpro. I was running a Deskpro 4000. The embedded video card was a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5446 card with 2Mb RAM. Booting with the Compaq supplied boot disks and setup utilities will reveal the exact card for you, too. I should point out, that when running the SVGA X Server, I, too, would get horizontal lines in the middle of the screen - not often, but mainly when the the screen updates would be fast (like catting a long file in an xterm window). I used kde however, so refreshing the desktop was easy and since it only happened every once in a while I wasn't too concerned. There is an X server specifically for the Cirrus Logic or ATI cards, but since I had 1024x768x16bpp resolution anyway, I wasn't too concerned. Make the floppies from Compaq first, and find out exactly what you've got in there. If you need any help running XF86Setup afterwards, let me know and I'll be more than happy to walk you through it.
