I would suspect the cable used to connect the Voodoo to the monitor or some component in between. It's probably not properly shielded for high frequencies.

Do you have a monitor switch? It can create bad output, too. Try to connect the monitor directly to the Voodoo.

What resolution do you run on the Voodoo? Does it happen with low resolutions, too, for example 640x480 or 800x600?

You could try to reduce the vertical frequency in Picasso96Mode. 60Hz is usually enough for flat screen displays.

To echo Thomas’s response above plus:

Have similar situations with a few of my setups. Always attribute this to signal interference from electrical cables. The other to try is a thicker VGA cable and /or try things called Ferrite rings/Chokes around the cables to help with shielding. Most quality VGA cables should already have these fitted to the ends of each of the cable.

Have seen a lot of ghosting as you describe on my Mediator/Prometheus and standard classic setups.
