Hi,

This stuff is really symptomatic of a NVidia video card with the nv driver
whose version is lower than 0.9-769. I'm right ? If yes then I suggest
upgrading the driver to 0.9-769 or the last one 1.0-1251 (See the README file
given with the driver to have the explanation). Moreover you won't be able to
watch any DVD in your current resolution, you'll have to decrease it or switch
to the fullscreen mode (which should decrease the resolution).

I'm going to add this problem and solution in the FAQ.

If I'm wrong then could you tell us which video card you have, the version
of XFree etc.

Thanks,
