I would get the machine looked at by an apple tech. I was getting some of those similar visual artifacts on my iBook (G4 1.0 GhZ ATI 9200) for about a month, and one day the display just went bonkers. The screens vRam was hosed and I had to replace the display. . . thank the lord for apple care on that one I guess.

Hi there,
I just want to know if anyone has a similiar problem, which is quite weird. I have IBook 1.33 GHz with ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphic card. With 10.4.0 everything runs fine. When I've updated on subsequent versions, I have a strange problem. Sometimes when it goes into sleep mode (without shutting the lid), I see lot of colored rectangles on the screen, IBook is not waking up, I have to do hard reset. But after the reset the system does not come up. I see the message that MacOSX is loading, but before the progress bar is completed, the message disappears, I get background screen without any symbols. The only way so far was to reinstall the system and downgrade to 10.4.0 again. I've tried all the updates so far and everyone had this behaviour. I also couldn't find something similiar in Apple's databases.
So if anyone knows what happens here, please drop me a note.
Thanks
Anton
