Before you call it a video card problem, can you think of anything you
might have changed at all on the system (software or hardware) between
when it was working and when it stopped working?
If not, have you tried opening the case, dusting everything out,
taking the video card out of its slot and reseating it? My video card
sometimes works its way out of its slot if the computer's been on for
a long time and then goes off for a while (expansion and contraction.)
Weird things result from that.
Are you sure you've got the same settings for X that you had before
when it worked?
How are you starting X? Are you passing any commands to startx?
like:
$ startx -- -bpp 16
??
