This post saved my skin!

Thanks for noticing that the video expansion setting would make this
work.  I just upgraded my wife's Dell D505, and it was set to show a
smaller-and-crisper boot-up screen (video expansion = off).  If she had
seen the screen in that funky interlaced / overlapped / folded mode, I
would've been in trouble, for sure.  She might've made me buy her a
Macbook!

Meanwhile, problem solved.  I am happy that she can run jaunty on her
lappie.
