Arni,

I had this problem with my SiS video card and that was solved by adding the
following to the "Device" section of the /etc/X11/XF86config file.

    Option     "no_bitblt"

There was a much fuller answer from Matt at Red Hat a week or two back and so
it might be worth looking at the archives at www.moongroup.com and searching
for SiS or XF86config.
