    Maybe this clue will help. (Granted, it's only a clue-let.)

    The distortion he's seeing sounds exactly like what I'm seeing now
with a fresh install under Fedora...and what I had when trying to
squeeze a few more FPS outta the 3d acceleration.

    The tweak was a minor fix; nothing so bold as to overclock it, but
something that was controlled under an environment variable listed in
the Release Notes from Nvidia.

    I'm sorry I don't have more information; it was a little tweak, and
the FPS it resulted in was less than worth the trouble...so I didn't
bother to write it down.  I think it was the thing that syncs the
frames...

    Sorry I don't have more to go on, but it sounds like it's something
that defaulted off, and nowdays it defaults to on.  Good luck with it.  

    If you want some help with it, I can help ya shake the trees.
