Setting the refresh rate at 59 gives the best result so far, although 
not perfect. (+/-)(h/v)sync does not seem to have an effect:
"1024x768_59.00"  63.15  1024 1080 1184 1344  768 769 772 795  -HSync +Vsync

Will try out some more variations on the theme.

Projector works properly with another laptop. I have now tried with 
another projector, which gives the same vibrations. By the way, it 
vibrates in the horizontal direction (horizontal lines are fine, it's 
the verticals that are jittering).

Cheers, Leon.
