I've almost given up on figuring out this problem, but perhaps someone here can help.
With Cocoa apps that have a multiple pane interface (Address Book, Mail, NetNewsWire, Gyazmail, etc.), if I resize on of the panes and get enough information in adjacent panes to have a scollbar, I get tons of screen refresh garbage when scrolling.
This only happens with Cocoa apps.
Check out this screen capture of the problem (http://www.thenonsuch.com/images/screenJunk.gif).
I have a Quicksilver G4 733 tower, in which I've put the graphics card from a QS G4 dual 800. The original stock card for my tower is the Geforce MX 32, and the card I've put in is the Geforce MX twinview (64 mbs of ram and dual-head ready).
This problem has persisted through clean installs, multiple OS updates, switching the video card (back to the original, testing the card in other machines [it worked fine], trying other cards), and three calls to AppleCare with no resolution.
Is anyone suffering from this problem? Is there anything I can do to remedy this?
The only other clue (possible) - I get an error on startup (visible if I do a verbose or single-user mode boot):
"Cannot alloc Class NV10HAL"

welp, that's the "NVIDIA NV10 Resman Kernel Extension"...
$ open /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV10Hal.kext/Contents/Info.plist
hmm, google for that string NV10HAL and see if you get similar kvetches

In verbose boot mode I have the same "Cannot alloc Class NV10HAL" on a FP iMac with Geforce 2MX. No screen garbage here. I think this is a problem with some Macs, I've seen this in another thread (http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5583&highlight=HAL), no answers there though.

I have a 15" PB 1ghz, 1g ram, and am getting the same problem.
The problem occures every once in a while, and can not be recreated on demand.
I have tried: using Onyx to clean the cache, logs, check permissions, etc.
Zapped the Pram, press the reset button under the keyboard.
I have run all the hard ware test CDs I have.
This occures in all applications- the whole display. When I reboot, the problem goes away.

I will go to the Mac store to see if they can figure it out.....
