Well, I bought a Mac Pro, I assume I'm limited in that I need something that has Mac support, as well.

The ability to adjust the acceleration level only appears if the driver specifically supports it. Don't kill yourself trying to find it if it's not obvious. Check with the manufacturer.

Have you got the ATI control panel thingo (can't remember what they call it, and its not installed as my ATI card exploded)
I downloaded it when I was having troubles similar to yours (mainly with smeared text when scrolling), did little more than play around with the settings, changing nothing obvious , and it did seem to fix it.
I have an Nvidea (is that AN Nvidea or A NVidea?) GeForce 8600 GTS now (it was cheap from fleecebay - urgent replacement when my card blew up) which seems to have problems with smearing on sideways scrolling.

I lost an Nvidia card once due to having too much stuff in my box and the power supply couldn't handle it. The card started acting up in a similar manner to what you described, and then one day it just croaked. In troubleshooting the failure, I found out that my power supply couldn't handle the load and the sagging voltage apparently damaged the video card.

Well, all of this came standard, so I hope the power supply can handle it ( I guess I do have three hard drives in there too, now ).

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that was your problem. What I really meant to say was that when the video card start to go flakey it could be caused by something else - maybe something you'd never suspect.
Best of luck with figuring this out and I hope it's an easy fix.

You "guess" you're cursed? We've all known you're cursed for a couple of years now. Kind of off topic (well very off topic), I was cruising the Andriod market last night and saw an app by what I thought was "Christian Graus". After more closely reading I noticed it was by "Christian Gras". I was about to post on here and ask what the app did cause the description was very confusing.
Don't blame me. I voted for Chuck Norris.

I found another Christian Graus on facebook and friended him. Him and his wife (Claudia) appear to only speak German, and to spend their entire lives playing facebook games. A real let down....

Dunno if it's the same issue, but my ATI 5870 would occasionally create a band flickering artifacts on screen 2 when I was scrolling on screen 1. The glitching always occurred when the GPU was switching clock speeds. Eventually I 'fixed' it by creating a custom profile (had to manually edit some xml config files) and switch to it on startup so that my GPU never underclocks to power saving modes when on idle.  
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I found it last night, independently, and it is causing me no end of non-productivity.

Well, we made it to San Antonio today and my wife passed her citizenship interview and test. That's one more step done, now she just needs to wait to be sworn as a US citizen and I'll be sleeping with an American girl.

What is the test like ? Here you have to answer history questions that most people born here would have no idea about.
