Hi all! There's something strange going on with my system. Sometimes, all of a sudden, there are lots of colored vertical lines on my monitor. When I switch to a terminal at this moment, there's a mix of some funny characters and some of the characters that should normally be there. A few of these are only displayed half, i.e. every other row erased. The system responds to commands as normal, it just looks a bit messy on the screen. The problem doesn't go away until I reboot. I thought it could be faulty hardware, but then I found out that it is reproduceable: It always happens when I visit http://directory.google.com/Top/World/Deutsch/Wissenschaft/Mathematik/Angewandte_Mathematik/ in Mozilla and scroll down the page. I once had this a long time ago with 4.8 (now I have 4.9), but I can't remember the browser I was using and the exact site (it was something in Google directory). How can I solve the problem, or at least find out what causes it? Regards, Daniela
