I am not quite sure what went wrong. The result: http://www.math.princeton.edu/~wwong/20061600026.png whenever I try to access a website with flash content on it, the weird bands of messed-up stuff appear across the screen. It does go away after I close the offending tab, and performs some action that forces X to redraw.
This started happening after I did a largish update after being away for 2.5 weeks. I think the problem is either with X, firefox, or flash, though it might go as far as the video driver. Any ideas? (Or, can anyone reproduce the behaviour?)
