I understand the symptoms - just not the cause or the remedy. ;-) I wonder if the common factor causing this problem for you and Keith is that you both have NVidia chipsets. Are you both using NVidia's X drivers? (And does anybody out there experience this problem who doesn't have an NVidia chipset and X drivers?) Perhaps there is some caching problem with the framebuffer memory? Do you both have MTRR enabled in your kernel? And does the NVidia X driver enable write-combining on your gfx card's memory? (Have a look in /proc/mttr). Cheers, Rich
