You may be another victim of Intel refusing to publish the
programmer's reference for the i830 graphics controller.
See

  http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/linux/c400.html

for a description of the problem affecting a number of
laptops.  The problem is known to affect some Sony PCG R505.
If you come to the conclusion that your machine has indeed
the same problem, please drop me a note so that I can list
your model on the above web site.

Cheers,
Manuel
