Hello,
I've been getting some really weird video output while
playing generals.  I dont' know how to describe it.
there are screenshots here:

<a href=http://www.linuxlots.com/~code_zmith/tech/>http://www.linuxlots.com/~code_zmith/tech/</a>

This seems to happen randomly.  All of a sudden, the screen
just gets these "shards" of raster blasting all over
the place.  I can still play the game, but the constant flashing
on the screen nearly gives me epileptic fits.

After this happens, I must reboot to get rid of this effect.
Simply restarting generals does not fix it.

Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks
