I don't know if I understand the symptom correctly, but I too would be more inclined to blame the hardware than the software for this. What kind of monitor do you have? Could it be that you have an analog connector that's picking up interference or is not seated well? What colour depth are you using? You might be able to find it from the X.log... grep -i -e pbb -e depth /var/log/X.0.depth If the depth is <15 bpp it could be that X is flipping colour palettes around. -Bart -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/
