Once they all looked fine, now I can see dark dots in the built-in RSS Visualizer saver

I got a brand new Mac Mini and it's doing the same thing to me. Well actually it never looked good like it does on my Powerbook.

I hope someone figures this out.

I would try taking out some RAM to see if that makes a difference. I had a G4 tower at work that was displaying similar graphical weirdness, and it turned out it was a problem with the RAM. (Actually, it was two problems — one of the RAM slots has stopped working correctly and one of the pieces of RAM is also bad. They seemed to aggravate each other.)
