Strange. That thread doesn't show up on the public archives page at redhat that I read before posting, but I see it now on the 'private' mailman archives. I'm not using a VIA board, though. NVidia nforce. Similar symptoms, as I see. Ah well. Messing with the PCI latency does help a bit at full res capture. Capturing at quarter-res is pretty-much artifact free. 'suppose I'll email nvidia and ask them what's up.
