[MacDV] Video glitch on G5 w/ 9800 video

[Paul Williams]

>My 2x2 G5 has 2 - 250GB internals and a couple of 120GB externals, 
>23" cinema, and
>runs on OSX 10.2.8 (I have Panther 10.3.1 on my 17" PowerBook but 
>waiting a while to
>install on the beast), and has been a dream.
>
>The only thing I have noticed is that when first booted, my video is 
>kind of spurious,
>with artifacts distributed throughout the display.  After 
>restarting, this goes away.  I have
>updated the firmware for the 9800, but to no avail.  It is more of a 
>nuisance than a
>problem since it only happens on initial startups and is easily 
>corrected.  Has anyone
>noticed this problem?
