Kubuntu Intrepid with ATI FireGl 8800 card (r200 chip)

lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QH [Radeon 8500] (rev 80)

My monitor model is an HP p1120
-HorizSync 30-121
-VertRefresh 48-160

Since I installed intrepid I have a temblor in my monitor (In the other Ubuntu releases it works great). It is especially visible at the edges of the windows.
It is very strange because all seems to be correct (with the default xorg.conf configuration):
 - Resultion is on the default 1600x1200
 - The vertical refresh rate is on the default 85Hz
 - The horizontal refresh rate is on 106.3kHz

I try to configure the HorizSync and VertRefresh manually editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but nothing changes

In Windows with the same settings (1600x1200 - 106.3kHz/85Hz) there is no tremor
