    Certain web pages cause my screen to "go funny" with horizontal lines
    for a few seconds, then leave it looking ugly until I log out of GDM
    and back in again. This happens only with Firefox and Mozilla; I can
    look at the same pages in Konqueror and Galleon. It used to happen
    occasionally on slashdot.org (usually on Apple-related pages, I think)
    but not www.theregister.co.uk is giving me trouble. I use XFCE4 but
    I've had the same problem in GNOME.

    Here's a screenshot of the after-effects.

    Below is some information I think might be relevant. Please ask for
    anything else that might help.

    Thanks,
    Adam
