The incident you mention sounds like it's related to specifically texture
corruption. You describe something where the spurious tris appear where you
have no geometry. Could you run some other gfx apps, perhaps straight OpenGL
demos to see if it still happens, sounds a bit like a HW problem to me...
Cheers
Rob
