I think I found it, see below.

If you find out, please let me know. My G4 gets awfully hot on the
bottom, which distorts the image on the laptop. Oddly enough, if I
have an external monitor, the distortion on the screen does not
extend to the external monitor. Rather, it appears only on the
laptop's screen.

A while back I read of a means to reset the vid ram, or something

anyone know what I'm talking about and know what the procedure is
to do this?
Tim,
No, I only use it on table top surfaces and it just gets too hot
after awhile to use. It has already been evaluated once by Apple
and they sent me a new battery (even though the old one was not on
the recall list). That seemed to make a significant difference
but then when I installed Tiger just after it was released, the
heat issues returned.
Apple flatly denies that it could have anything to do with Tiger
and stated it was simply coincidental but at the same time, they
have not been able to come up with any other reason. I am not
sure what the problem is. Right now, it feel quite cool and I've
been on it for 10 minutes but within another 20-30 minutes I will
not be able to use it.

Check out this article, I think this is what worked for me before.
If it doesn't work or has no bearing, no harm no foul:
