I have not had problems until a few months back, unfortunately, I am not able to say if it was an upgrade to xorg, the nvidia driver or some other port that caused the issue.

From you PR note I see that your are running an Nvidia card, so 1) try upgrading Xorg as it seems to be out of date - you say you have 6.8 but 6.9 is the latest 2) If that doesn't help then try the nvidia driver.

I was incorrect.  I am running the following:

cups 1.1.23.0_1
gnome2-2.12.3
nvidia-driver-1.0.8178_1
xorg-6.9.0
xorg-clients-6.9.0_2

should be current.

If there are no better suggestions then here are some things you might try. These are all based on my underlying assumption that it's somehow the graphics card/driver:

1) Check BIOS settings, just in case. If there are any graphics related try changing them.

2) Try the nvidia forums and see if there's anything there about screen corruption. I'd try the Linux as well as FreeBSD and maybe anything about your specific board.

3) You could try downgrading each port in turn and seeing if the problem goes away. sysutils/portdowngrade can do that for you. Time consuming, frustrating, and possibly fruitless.

4) If you have another graphics card to hand, see if that has the same problem.
