If it is working the way you want it to, then there is really no "problem," so to speak. :)

If you notice actual problems when you go to use features that you knew worked before, then you should give IBM/Lenovo a call and include those test results.

I've gotten the same problem in my old R40. It turned out to be a solder problem of the graphic chip's pins, rather than a failure of the graphic chip itself, as the graphic chip was still working properly at that time but failed in the PC-Doc test.

The problem became worse as stripes appeared later on the screen and became more and more often. I just sent my Thinkpad to an agent (not IBM/Lenovo). They took off the graphic chip and resoldered using a special soldering machine. Then my thinkpad is rekindled.

If your Thinkpad is still under warranty, then the best way is to give IBM/Lenovo a call as christopher suggested.
