I have an odd graphics problem on my Debian laptop: I'm getting strange flickery pixels:

I don't get it with the kernel framebuffer but I do get it with X whatever window manager/desktop environment I use. I've tried restarting X, re-installing some X packages and even restarting the computer.
One thing I haven't tried which someone suggested was a live CD using a different XOrg version.
Any other suggestions or similar experiences?
What graphics chipset? Which driver version? Has it only recently started or always occurred? Do you have subpixel rendering enabled perhaps? What does Xorg.0.log say?
