9.10 and 10.04 both show this problem when using a Fit-PC Slim and an AOC TV as display.

Some web pages are OK, and some always show an increasingly scrambled area as one scrolls down the page. Often the end result is that X locks up and the keyboard no longer works. But connection sharing still works (tested with 9.10 only) so the kernel is still functioning.

I saw reference to a "ztv" driver as an alternative to the default (lsmod shows two modules with Geode in the name which I presume are drivers), but I can't find that package/driver anywhere.

Don't know much about recent X software; has anyone encountered/cured this problem?
