I've seen this recently in #debian and we were able to "fix" this with
the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "r128"
Driver "r128"
Option "NoAccel"
EndSection
the related bug report is [1] and this will disable acceleration for
your card, so it is not really a good fix. You might also want to make
sure that you have the firmware package(s) installed.
Good luck
