I've seen users complain in similar circumstances at linuxquestions.org.
Sadly not here, where we could help them diagnose the problem.

Anyway, my hardware is way slower than yours, though I have an nVidia

however, using older NVdriver, namely 5328. Have you tried older releases?

Works fine here, and with svgalib kernel helper, you don't even need to be
root.
