I think this is a problem with the VRAM or GPU. There used to be an
extended warranty period for this issue, but it's over now. See:

You might be able to plead with an Genius at an Apple Store, they
repaired my G5 PowerMac for free even though a similar extended
warranty period had expired.
Here's a service that will reball the GPU for $75:

Perhaps it could be shimmed like the iBooks with similar GPU issues.
I've heard a nice tight shim will virtually solve the issue in some
iBooks?
