Comment 13 for bug 162343

I am seeing this a great deal, I am also using the nvidia restricted drivers, and have an AMD Turion ml-30 CPU with 3Gb of RAM. The card is a Geforce 6600 with 256 Mb.

The XV fix worked for some things, but not mythtv or miro when they play up (which suggests they are not using gstreamer). Sometimes, the corruption or green display will lead what appears to be a total system hang - however, I have not tried to SSH in when that is the case (on the chance that it is the video card only that is not responding). I have rebooted more than once due to this.

It seems to be fine sometimes, and go completely at others. I have only one monitor connected, but the card has an additional DVI output.

I do not feel it is likely to be wine, because AFAIK I am not running anything under wine and have not in most sessions.
