I'm not sure, but it could be your AGP settings. Green colors in hardware 
accelerated video sometimes imply that your AGP card is running too fast 
for your PC. I have seen it a lot of times on Windows machines, with 
GeForce and ATI Rage 128 (Pro) cards running at AGP 4x. In all cases the 
problem was fixed by setting the AGP speed to AGP 2x.

But I know nothing of AGP on a Linux machine, so I could be wrong.
