Just as an additional I'm getting the same behavior, and have since
sometime in the 2.1.12x series. I'm using the Xpert@play card from ATI
(Mach64 Rage something or other). Happens when scrolling in text
console. I've also had this occur during boot when doing some
particularly long and error full fsck's. No oops is produced in logs,
and the screen is useless. Switching back to X (if it's running) puts
some wierd garbage on the screen and a large rectangle that moves with
the mouse.
Personally I'd chalked it up to wierd hardware issues, but sounds like
it's not an isolated incident.
