It might just be a flaw with the vesa driver or the card though...Have you googled for similar symptoms? > $ XFree86 -version > > XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System > (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) > Release Date: 21 December 2001 > If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is > newer than the above date, look for a newer version before > reporting problems.
