Maybe your video card/driver just sucks.  :D

Buy an nVidia, really, even if it's just an older GF3/4 it's better than having a poorly supported card if you want to use Linux.

I'd rather have a GeForce 2 MX, Radeon 7500 or a Kyro than a S3 Pro Savage DDR card/onboard chip.

The Pro Savage sucks.

If you want good Linux support just pick up a cheap GeForce 2/4 MX or spend like $80 for a GeForce FX 5200. None of the latter are very fast for gaming but they are all better than that S3 Pro Savage and Nvidia has decent drivers for Linux.

Myself I'd get at least a GeForce 4 Ti4200 or better but it isn't nessicary for good GUI performance of your OS(any of the budget GeForces will do just fine for that).
