I am running mandrake7.2 on a compaq armada 7800.
I have the same video card, and I had the same thing
happen as well....
Here is the pertinent code...from my 86config.
Section "Device"
Identifier "S3 ViRGE/MX (generic)"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
# Option "fast_dram"
# Option "pci_retry"
VideoRam 4096
# Clock lines
#Option "sw_cursor"
#here are lines that fixed it, my source wasnt sure
#which command would work on Mandrake, and I've never
#taken the time to find out. ) one of the Xaccels
#will hopefully work for ya..
Option "noaccel"
Option "no_accel"
Option "power_saver"
EndSection
