I have had the same problem when I have switched from xfree86 v3
to
xfree86 v4. Sometimes I had little points blinking and aligned. I
didn't
have the problem under Windows. So I supposed the s3virge driver
has a
problem.
You can move to xfree86 v3 or make a bug report to xfree86.
I have the same problem with the s3virge driver, only as long as I
don't go above 16 bit color I can use 1024x768 and 1280x1024.
Maybe reducing color depth would help? So many people have
reported this, and in distros other than Debian as well, I think
it has to be a bug or a problem with the card. I suspect a driver
bug as the same chipset is flicker-free under microsoft.
