I'm just rather astonished that its failing more than it used to.

the Vesa driver however just doesn't work on these old 8MB M3's.
Something happens and it locks up with either a trashed screen (What

As for proprietary drivers, this doesn't *have* any -- they were
dropped from support long ago, and now have nice DRI support at
