Unfortunately, exactly the problem you report with this card has also been 
observed by others.  Some say that the card has problems with the AMD and 
Cyrix processors; I don't know.  As of April 28 (when a news message on 
this topic was posted), Accelerated X (not free software) was planning to 
supply an update to their drivers in "one or two weeks" that was meant 
to solve the problem.

I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but hope it at least saves you
some time.

Good luck,
