If you're using the nvidia driver, try turning off RenderAccel in xorg.conf.

like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x]"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option          "RenderAccel"           "false"
EndSection
