Or the video card is marginal. Leopard pushes the video card harder than Tiger 
does. I had the very same sort of thing happen to me last week (on a pc, but it 
was an nVidia card, too) where someone wanted to hook up a 24" monitor to their 
PC. It worked, and the card is advertised as supporting the resolution needed, 
but the image kept getting artifacts and kept cutting in and out. 

We dialed the thing back to the original monitor again and everything's fine. 
My conclusion is it's a flaky video card; I suspect that this is your case as 
well.

If it works AT ALL in Leopard for anyone it's not a driver issue, and artifacts 
are almost *always* linked to bad hardware rather than drivers.
