I had this problem once with Mandrake 7.0, X 3.3.5+,
and my SiS 6326. There was a simple solution:
modify your XF86Config file in the 'Section "Device"'
for one or both of your cards (try the SiS first)
the following line:
# Option "noaccel"
Uncomment this line and see what happens. (I read somewhere
that [at least with my ver. of X] the acceleration
for my Svga server was not quite polished for the SiS.
When I had the same symptoms you describe as I was overclocking
my dual celeron 366s to 550 each, and I modified the above line,
the graphics did slow some, but the artifacts went away.)
Good luck!
