Dear Michael,
What you experience is in the community called JAGGIES.
You can search the archive for what has been posted on that issue.
But to make it short:
the best known way to get rid of the jaggies so far is to
disassemble the Newt until th epoint where you can reach and disconnect the
flexible PCB connection between the digitizer and the main board, called
logic board.
In order to help you wity this there is the very nice manual you can find
at:
http://www.pda-soft.de/2x00_disassemble.html
with lots of nice pictures.
THE MAIN STEP then is to CLEAN the contacts of the flex PCB.
Now you can re-assemble your Newt and teh Jaggies should belong to the past.
Cheers
Johannes
