I do not use the framebuffer. My old lombard used to render artifacts in images and it was introduced at some point with an update of the xserver. It also had a rage pro. You could try switching off some hardware acceleration options as I found some emails saying the hardware had problems with some of those. This worked for me with vectors, it might help with images, too.
