it works usually very well, especially for old cards. 
i have a different theory here, how much memory do these cards have ?
its very likely not enough to run in 24bit mode (which breezy defaults
to, in dapper you can set X_COLOR_DEPTH=16 in lts.conf, breezy was sadly
lacking that feature)
your cards should have at least 2MB memory available for 1024x786 at 16bit
and more for a 24bit depth.
