I've had problems with S3's before and a fix for FC4 has been discussed
plenty of times before. You may want to google it.
However,
I do not know whether it applies to 64 bit Linux - so I may be talking
from where the sun don't shine.
Other solution is simple.
Plug in an nVidia card.
I for one have NEVER had problems with them (OK, you have to run the
binary installer to get it working but I equate it with installing a
driver in Windows - same thing).
Regards,
Ed.
