I'm still using 9.04 and this happens to me too, but only
occasionally.  Switching to a virtual terminal (text mode),
i.e. with [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1], then back to X (graphics mode)
with [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F7] seems to fix it.

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1525 and my xorg.conf mentions Intel 965GM,
so it's probably related.

I get a lot of horizontal stripes around the screen, kind of like this:

            ____      ____      ____     ____

        ____      ____      ____     ____

    ____      ____      ____     ____

          ____      ____      ____     ____

etc.
