I had a Radeon 9200 video card which I used for some time. For
apparently no reason, it started showing vertical Magenta stripes that
are in the frame buffer since they also showed up in a screen shot:

I have a lot of parts sitting around so I tried a Radeon 9250 and things
improved. But still similar problems.

Look closely at the icons and the scroll bar. I have the similar
Magenta vertical stripes that flicker on when the screen redraws. Also
I have green vertical stripes in photographs and dark colors.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am presuming that it is
hardware but it would be a coincidence if two graphics cards had similar
issues. I tried another mother board and it made no significant difference.
I am using the "radeon" driver: xf86-video-ati-6.12.4 and Linux 3.0.4
with X.Org 1.7.1. All 32 bit.
