Probably not, DRI support for Xpress 200 seems to miss too much
specifications to get fixed so far.

Try disabling DRI. Option "DRI" "off" in section Device of xorg.conf
should do the trick.

2.6.22 contains some support for DRI for Xpress chips, while 2.6.18 did
not. So the X server might try to enable DRI on 2.6.22. If this DRI is
actually not well supported, enabling it might break things...
