I found out that it was my S3V server causing, or having to do with the error. I switched to SVGA (ehh) and everything runs fine ! Xchat, gimp, all the icq's. So this may help some of you. It is probably a problem with Diamond cards in partictular ? Dunno, i don't care, for now i will run the svga video server. Thanks for the help.
