  I've seen it too, don't remember exact situation, I think it usually
appears when I'm shutting down and X server exits. I don't remember
seeing it in other cases (e.g. just switching to console) but I don't
use concole (VTs) much...

  I have voodoo III, X 4.x, don't remember seeing it with X 3.x

  what video cards do you (=who had seen the mysterious green D) have?
