Does it look blocky/pixelated with each block a different color?

Does it only do it when you boot up in Xwindows mode or startX
from a character logon?

We had a similar problem with RHEL4 but only after running up2date
and updating the kernel.  One person here corrected by twiddling with
the X config files.  But it turned out Dell also had an updated video
driver (they were Dell 2850 machines) that solved the problem, too.

If this sounds similar to what you're seeing, check with your hardware
vendor(s) to see if they have a new/current video driver available.
