I tried xserver-xfree86 4.3.0-pre1v1 with no joy.

However, I _did_ manage to get rid of the glitching by reducing the
pixel depth to 16-bits.  If I look at the X log output, I see the same
errors, but the display looks fine.

I guess maybe this motherboard just sucks and simply doesn't have the
bandwidth to do 1280x1024 @24bpp,

Of course all my nice anti-aliased text now looks crappy (~5bits per
component is apparently not enough to do anti-aliasing well), but at
least I've got something I use until I buy a non-crappy videocard
(which should cost me about $30 I figure).

Thanks,

-Miles
