I guess that's a screen with lines running vertically across the screen.  
If so, that means either the monitor or the video card settings are
incompatible.   Like I had a monitor that would distort 800x600 
but displayed 1024x768 and 6400x480 without problems.  
Best to start in safe resolution 640x480x16 (256 colors) then
increase the resolutions to see which ones work.  Same with the monitor
display refresh rates 60-72mhz before going higher.

I'm on X.org but if you could post your /etc/Xfree866.conf maybe
someone will notice an error.   

Here's a Howto link on XFree86
