If you suspekt the driver the easiest way to test this is to change to

Please note that I can't reproduce the problem in Gnome, but I do see
corrupted texts. I think KDE can't handle it or something.

The important thing is that you have a way to reproduce the error. If
changing the card helps and the error goes away you know that you have
fixed the error. Other things that might fix the error is to change
driver, change motherboard, change RAM or change CPU.

Yeah, I want to upgrade my Kernel but I have no disk space on my boot partition:
/dev/hda1 270969 177474 79039 70% /
qtparted wouldn't let me move partitions to make it bigger. :(


Doubt it is memory. Wouldn't I have problems in other places.

Yes, bad memory would probably also give segfaults in other applications.

I tried to reproduce the one from xscreensaver when I was looking, configuring, and previewing.
I couldn't do it after 30 minutes. :(
