OK about half of the time when I boot up I get a corrupted login screen it's black except for some staic looking black and white stuff at the bottom quarter of my screen.

mine is a Thinkpad T43 with ATI X300 video card.

If at the corrupted screen I goto another terminal I get a lot of these errors

what can I do to help?
