Last time I saw something similar was when my harddisk get broken. Are there any opcode entries in /var/log/messages or /var/log/dmesg?
Something crosses my mind: could it be related to a faulty video card? I vaguely (very vaguely) remember having had similar troubles with an old NVidia card a few years ago, and this is an old NVidia card.
I also remember something strange happening. Normally when I install a desktop, I begin with a minimal bootable system (everything unchecked in the installer). Then I 'yum groupinstall "X Window System"' and go on configuring X. Only when TWM is working OK, I install some desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, XFCE) and the apps on top.
After I had installed the driver and fired up TWM, I wanted to test 3D abilities, so I typed 'glxgears' in TWM's xterm, but I got an error message about some missing GLX extension. I didn't investigate this further, since it's an install for an office user, and I thought, let's install and configure all needed apps, and we'll see for Compiz later (even the most serious SOHO users love Compiz) :oD
