DRI support isn't quite stable yet. You might try forcing the size of the framebuffer in the bios if you have the option. on some cards if you force it to a size, like 128 MB, rather than setting it to "auto," it works better. Your best bet for changing modes is the xrandr utility. Some of the gui utilities are not randr 1.2 aware and the 1.0 compat stuff doesn't always work well.
