Someone who had a similiar problem, but the problem did not
appear in 1.2.13.
the Card was an S3-Virge 2Mb, and you can try contact the other one
having this problem as 
"Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of Death Inc. <skully@skully.clipper.net>"

Maybe someone can tell what was changed (probably in the s3 driver)
from 1.2.13 to 1.3.0 that causes this bug.
