Just sent you a copy of my email to Mike Breeden at xlr8yourmac.com, just to let you know you're not alone with this hardware/OS combo video problem. "Color mental" is an excellent description of the problem, BTW. Hope this gets resolved soon - in the meantime, try a shutdown followed by a PRAM reset - my system hasn't gone 'mental' since doing this, so I'm hopeful . . .

Lombard G3 333MHz 512MB RAM, Orinoco Silver PCMCIA
-Apple released in software updates Mac OS X 10.2.8. I downloaded it last night. Boy does it make a difference.
Yes, made a real difference on my machine : total @#$%ed it!
Machine : Lombard 333, 320Mb Ram, external monitor, USB keyboard & mouse
Install, restart, OK so far. Finder back up - monitor arrangement is around the wrong way. Revert it. Soon there's all sorts of messages in the console, the external CRT monitor suddenly receives no signal and the LCD (built-in) goes colour mental with bands and stripes everywhere!
Restart, similar problems. I notice there a crash log for OBEX. I have disabled all my login items and the problem seems to have vanished.
I'll have to investigate further tomorrow - when I'm feeling brave again!
PS - It killed all my Stickies too!
Cheers, Antony.
