[Klug-general] Fedora 8

[Andrew Miller (Spode)]

I get a similar issue on my Sony. It ends up with the screen going 
crazy. I've put this down to the fact I have a TurboCache Nvidia 
Graphics card. I imagine the mechanism in which it shares the system 
memory is a little complex.

Have you tried looking in the gnome log files?
