I have been using an S3 Virge 4MB PCI card for quite some time on Redhat 4.2
with no problems. I usually do 1280x1024 @16bpp (due to monitor restrictions I
can't do 24bpp at that res). It has never flaked out on me. You might want to
put your card in another slot to see if that particular slot is flakey rather
than the chipset.
