 I am not quite sure what went wrong. 
 
 The result: http://www.math.princeton.edu/~wwong/20061600026.png
 whenever I try to access a website with flash content on it, the
 weird bands of messed-up stuff appear across the screen. It does go
 away after I close the offending tab, and performs some action that
 forces X to redraw. 
 
 This started happening after I did a largish update after being away
 for 2.5 weeks. I think the problem is either with X, firefox, or
 flash, though it might go as far as the video driver. Any ideas?
 (Or, can anyone reproduce the behaviour?)
 
 
 And so I use the built-in radeon drivers. 
 
 Thanks,

I have the same issue.  I upgraded gcc to 4.1.x and that has been a mess
since I rebooted.  I need to rebuild world :-)

I get the same flash issue.  Simple flash sites work, flash sites with
video mostly puke now.  I also get display issues with gnome-terminal
where all/most of the text becomes invisible until I hit enter and then
it is redrawn.

I use the binary NVidia driver and thought it was releated to that.
However I am currently downgrading x11-libs/libX11, x11-base/xorg-server
and x11-base/xorg-x11 and all the installed drivers I have under
x11-drivers/*.

I hope this will fix me up because right now I cannot get into Gnome.

Doing the above got me back in to Gnome.  I am now just having an issue
with gdm, but that is not a big deal.  I am going to do a quick bash
script to grep all the environment.bz2 files under /var/db/pkg and see
which ones were compiled with gcc 3.4.x so I can recompile with gcc
4.1.x.  I don't feel like rebuilding world, it takes too long and I have
rebuilt some packages already.  I should have heeded the warnings about
upgrading gcc :-)
