Let's see if I can summarize:

Sometimes X's display is corrupted, but switching to a text console and 
killing+restarting X fixes the problem--sometimes.

Did you ever post the make+model of the video card you're using?  Do 
so.  Also, is this an Athlon system, and have you tried using the 
"mem=nopentium" boot option?  This is said to fix some problems that 
can occur with AGP on Athlon boards.  Which distro are you running, and 
which version of X?  ("xdpyinfo | grep release" gives version info for 
X.)
