Understanding system.log

This keeps logging every few minutes. Any idea what an invalid colorscape type can be?

hi i'm having a similar problem. my stems from the game world of warcraft. in game, the symptoms manifest as such:

1) choppy audio for a couple seconds
2) game freezes for a couple seconds
3) game resumes but drops from 30 frames per second to 5 frames per second (sometimes this is accompanied by a loss of internet connectivity which cannot be re-established until restarting the macbook pro)
4) Normal FPS is established after 5-8 minutes
5) Cycle repeats at 5-8 minute intervals

The system.log associated with this is as follows:
