I rebooted my machine this morning and now instead of running normally, my GLMatrix screen saver flashes as it repaints the screen, more and more noticeably as the screen fills up with glyphs. I didn't change ANYTHING and this was not happening before the boot.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be?
Thanks.

Update: I watched this distracting behavior for a while, and it seems that it is not actually repainting the screen because some of the background, lowlighted chains do not appear to be changing, but the foreground highlighted chains blink almost in sequence, as if they were being individually redrawn in the order of generation, or in order from back to front, or something like that.
I changed to a different screensaver - this was really annoying....
I would still LOVE to know what was causing this.

Some misconfiguration in the system. Some update that you hadn't rebooted for til now. Bad setting in your xorg.conf, sun spots, solar flares.
With the tiny amount of detail you give, there's no way to know.
