With randr try to nuke the 'Monitor "Monitor1"' from the Screen section. So
the only references are the 'Option "Monitor-XYZ"' in the Device section.

Tried that:
* Both the HDMI and VGA displays.
* VGA 1920x1080 everthing ok
* HDMI gets a desktop size which is larger than the screen. On all edges,
about 2 cm of the desktop is carwed off (the left column of icons and the
bottom panel in KDE). Additionally, th statics is there _but_ not as intense.
xrandr and xdpyinfo both attests that both outputs are 1920x1080. It doesn't
scroll as the classic "virtual large desktop" X thing.
The text looks stretched and the scroll list in Kterm shows a repeating wavy
stretch pattern.

However, there are some static horizontal lines on the display whenever
I show anything but the KDE background.
Sounds like a completely different problem. Try
Option "AccelMethod" "shadowfb" as a start. If that works, you're hitting
an acceleration bug.

No improvement. Tried "shadowfb", "exa", "none", removing the line.
With randr (i.e. as above) I get less static. Maybe one horizontal line "blip"
every 2 seconds. Without randr (i.e. with all of the desktop shown on the
monitor), I get 4-7 lines jumping around more or less all the time. My
imression is that I get more lines when I place some windows on the otherwise
homogeneous blue background. I can send you a small video of the phenomenon if
you want to.
