There's an article on www.macintouch.com , but no need to look it up,

here is the relevant info:

Phil Suh reports that Macromedia Flash screen-draw problems on his blue

G3s disappeared when he replaced the shipping ATI drivers with the

drivers included in Apple's OpenGL beta:


"We can confirm here that the screen artifacts problem in Flash 3 on

Blue G3's seem to be fixed by installing the OpenGL beta software

mentioned a couple days ago. The beta software expires June 1, so

hopefully by then a permanent update will be available. But this is much

better than restarting with the ATI extensions off whenever we work in

Flash."

Here's the link that will get you to the download page for OpenGL:

OS 8.6 should be released this week or very early next week.  Rumor

has it that it will be released for Apple's Developer conference.
