If you switch to a text console (ctrl-alt-Fn) when X is up, is it OK then?
Something with the video, then. If that's the same, then how about when X
is not running (runlevel 3)? Something with the memory, then. Could be a
shared-memory system, where video memory comes out of system memory. Are
you running KDE or Gnome? They use a lot of RAM. How deep is your X
display (16 bit, 24 bit, etc)? Can you lower it? How much RAM do you
have? What does "free" say? Can you see an program using up lots of CPU
time in "top"'s display?
