I'm running RedHat 6.1 with a Banshee. I get the 
"psychadelic-mode" on the glide test and Quake3 at
800x600, but Quake runs fine at 1024x768... go figure.
I think there's a switch on the glide test to tell it
to run at different resolutions you could use to see
if anything other than 800x600 work for you. I have a
19" monitor so I prefer the higher resolution but it
sure is annoying not knowing what's wrong.
