A similar problem with Lucid was reported mainly by users of ATi Radeon graphics hardware. I also experienced the "wavy" output in Lucid, although the graphics h/w is the integrated intel that comes with the Core i3 processors.
It is easy to reproduce. Just plug in an external monitor or projector. The output is not stable/solid and has waves that make it unusable.
I tried the Maverick Alpha3 to see if it had been addressed in the 2.6.35 kernel but the problem is still apparent.
The LCD display of the Laptop is rock solid and sharp. This only affects the external VGA from what I can tell. I do not have any hdmi devices to test with so cannot confirm if the symptoms are just VGA or any external monitor connection.
Similar bug reports from Lucid include: 537640, 541501, 557814, 562138 although these all seem to relate to the ATI chipsets, the description of the problem sounds the same.
I am happy to try upstream kernels and build/patch/compile if necessary.
