What capture card? If you happen to be using an AVerMedia M179 with the 
latest Hauppauge firmware, that'd be the problem. Otherwise, you could 
have a bum video card. I had a crappy Jaton GF4MX at one point that 
produced some nasty artifacts on screen (an ugly moire pattern all 
over, somewhat similar to what you're describing). All my other cards 
work great, including an MSI...

Also make sure you're specifying the video out type in the X driver 
config.
