It seems, that there are different steppings of this particular chipset.
The XFree guys are already working on a solution. For the time being,
check the following options:
Option "no_accel"
Option "no_linear"
Option "sw_cursor"
This will only give you 8bpp and no hardware acceleration, but at least
the picture should be stable.
Good luck,
