There is just too many with problems for this to just be *a* video
card problem. There may be more than one problem that is muddying the
waters, and there may just be an XFree related problem. The latter may
exempt non-XF86 servers. And there are number of reports that
Linux+BP6+console is fine, but with X, there are very, very few such
reports.
So, your card, X server, X server version is? (Haven't we done this
before :-) )
