I got that too, with FC6, and if I tried to use anything else that
referred to the same stuff (screensavers that used them, games, etc.).
If I ran the legacy driver it didn't do it, but then I found no
advantage over using the open-source nv driver (i.e. I couldn't get any
3D acceleration with two different Nvidia cards).

One's an Asus V8420/128M Rev 101 Nvidia NV25 GeForce4 Ti 4200, the
other's NV Vanta TNT2 MS8808.  The second, I'm reading a texta-written
label in an awkward position, so I mightn't have it 100% right.

The odd thing is that the GeForce4 card did work, without any dramas, on
a friend's box running FC5, before he gave me the card.  It was ages
since we set it up, but I don't recall that we used a legacy driver with
it.
