	Oddly enough, those same problems are exactly why I switched to an nVidia
card!

	I was running a VooDoo 3000 AGP and had those exact same problems.  I
always suspected that it had to do with heat buildup in the machine.  I
now use an nVidia GeForce2 GTS DDR 64 meg card, and I love it!  The
problems litterally went away the moment I installed it.  

	I assume that this is because the graphics chip has a fan, and on the
VooDoo, it did not.  X pushes the chip more than non-X, so when running X,
much more heat will be generated.

	Does your card have a fan?
