I wouldn't be surprised if you were running into a bug with the X 
server, video chipset, or damaged video hardware. I've seen issues like 
this with all of those as causes. What's your video chipset, XFree86 
version, distro, etc? Output of `lspci` would be handy, as would the X 
server log, `dmesg`, and `uname -a`.
