  I have a similar problem in RedHat 7.2 with moving of outlines and
*ANY* audio application (e.g. RealPlayer). I understand that this is a
generic problem with X, where video card drivers don't play by the rules.
A PCI device is supposed to check whether the PCI bus is busy before
sending data. If it doesn't, you get conflicts with devices (e.g. PCI
soundcard and PCI videocard) fighting for resources. There may be an
option when starting X to control this, but I forget.

If you had purchased $1000 of _at_home stock in 1999, today you would
have $1.30.  If you had purchased $1000 of beer in 1999, today you
would still have $59 in empty cans.
