this was not happening before the boot.

Anyone have any ideas why this might be?

CentOS 4.4 Plus on AMD 64 x2 4200+, 2Gb RAM, ECS NForceM4-A mobo, nVidia
geForce7100sg video, latest nvidia drivers....

Update: I watched this distracting behavior for a while, and it seems
that it is not actually repainting the screen because some of the
background, lowlighted chains do not appear to be changing, but the
foreground highlighted chains blink almost in sequence, as if they
were being individually redrawn vin the order of generation, or in
order from back to front, or something like that.

I changed to a different screensaver - this was really annoying....

Is this a issue with all GL screensavers ?
Try running glxgears on your system

$ glxgears


I would still LOVE to know what was causing this.
Best guess would be, nv driver was being used with software rendering ,
but, as you said nvidia's driver are being used.
