I have an old sawtooth with a GeForce 5200 256MB agp card installed

CoreImage
and QuartzExtreme capable but these features are disabled in safe mode
resulting in some strange artifacts and banding in Safari on some
web flash
content. I cured the boot problem, restoring both features and the
screen
problems in Safari disappeared. Your problem may be that your card
does not
support CoreImage. System Profiler under graphics/displays will show
whether
CI - and Quartz - is supported. I think the minimum card required is
agp
(not pci) Geforce 5200 or later - or for ATI cards Radeon 9500 or
later.
Sounds like a possibility ...
